Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Kennedi Travis and I have a passion for passing on knowledge! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Wildlife Management from Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, SD, and worked for the state of South Dakota as a Fisheries Technician for three years. I also participated in Spider Studies and DWU for two years identifying different types of wolf spiders found in the state of South Dakota. I have vast experience volunteering in local classrooms on my days off.
Science, particularly Biology, is one of my favorite things to teach and I also have a special love for history. I value teaching learners of all ages and feel that knowledge is our most valuable resource.
I look forward to teaching your learner with fun and educational classes using science and facts. Thank you very much.
