Meet the Teachers

Hi everyone! I'm Lydia, a rising junior at State High. I've been involved with middle and high school Science Olympiad for 5 years now. Next year I will be a co-president of the high school Science Olympiad team. My favorite science fields are biology and chemistry. When I'm not doing science, I can be found playing the piano, reading, and baking. Looking forward to meeting everybody!

Hi everyone! I am Tiffany, a rising senior at State High. I have been involved in Science Olympiad since middle school. I compete in events related to biology and chemistry. In the upcoming school year I will be co-president of Science Olympiad. Outside of science I like to ski, bike, and listen to music. I am excited to be working with everyone this summer!

Hey, I'm Quiana! I'm a rising senior at State High. I've competed in Science Olympiad ever since I was a seventh grader and have loved every minute doing so! I'm very excited to lead the State High team along with Tiffany and Lydia this year as co-pres. When I'm not learning chemistry or biology, I am on the tennis courts or practicing the violin.

Hi, I'm Velvet! I'm a rising junior and have been involved with Science Olympiad since middle school. I'm this year's Science Olympiad secretary. At competitions, I mainly compete in earth science and inquiry events. I look forward to working with you!

Hi!! My name is Fatima Nadeem and I am a rising senior at State College Area High School. My favorite science subject would have to be molecular biology because I enjoy looking at how cells interact and studying macromolecules. One of my favorite hobbies is baking and traveling, and I love visiting new places and countries during the holidays!

Howdy! My name is Taiki, and I will be entering my junior year of high school in the fall. My favorite subject is physics, and I also enjoy music as well.

My name is William and I'm going to be a sophomore in high school next year! My favorite field of science is physics, and I also can play the piano.

Kueyoung is a second-year chemistry student at Penn State and is a part of the Schreyer Honors College and Millennium Scholars Program. He is excited about developing new materials to solve some of the world's pressing issues, and is conducting research on complex fluids with the Zarzar group at Penn State. This summer, he investigated how we can use sliding surfaces to drive organic reactions as a part of the Carpick group at UPenn. In his free time, Kueyoung likes to climb, cook, and read about cool science.

Bio In Progress!

Hi everyone! I’m Michelle. I was co-president of Science Olympiad with Lily for the 2021-22 school year. I just graduated from State High and I’m headed to Northwestern University in the fall to study environmental engineering and data science. This will be my third year being a part of this summer camp and I am super excited to see what camp this year will entail!

Hi! I'm Lily. I'm a rising freshman at Penn State and was a co-President of Science Olympiad last school year along with Michelle! I helped teach the SciOly camps for the past two summers. I've participated in Science Olympiad throughout high school and was also a Bio/Chem mentor. My favorite science subjects are molecular biology and physics. Outside of my science related activities I enjoy painting and doing ballet. I'm so excited to work with everyone in this year's camp!
