Meet the Environmental Inquiry Team
Gina muhs
Ms. Muhs is from Long Island, New York. I went to SUNY Oneonta for my undergraduate and graduate teaching degrees. I am certified in Early Childhood and Childhood Education as well as Elementary Special Education.
Ms. Muhs has been in Raleigh for 1 year and this will be her second year at MECME.
Ms. Muh's believes students need to have daily hands on and real world experiences to create memories and learn the skills they will need for the future. She loves teaching Environmental Inquiry because it is full of experiments, models, and exploration. It encourages students to ask questions, make predictions, test ideas, and analyze results while making connections to their community.
When she is not in the classroom, you can find her outside somewhere! Ms. Muhs also loves a good book, swimming, and hiking.
Ms. Muhs loves working with students because no two days are the same. She is constantly learning from them and growing as an educator.

Mrs. Crisp is originally from Upstate NY and has made her home in Wake County for the last 18 years.
She has 15 years of science teaching experience from K to 6th grade. Ms. Crisp went to undergraduate at SUNY Oneonta and earned a masters from NC State. Go Pack!

Mrs Avilez was born and raised in NYC. She is the daughter of two immigrants that migrated from Cali, Colombia. She attended Queens College City University of New York and has two bachelor's degrees, one in Elementary Education k-6 and the other in Spanish K-12 education.
Mrs. Avilez loves being a part of the Millbrook family because the school is such a tight community.
Mrs. Avilez hopes one day to become a world traveler, so far she has had the opportunity to travel to Colombia, Australia, Tahiti (french Polynesian Islands) and hopes to add many other countries to her list. These international experiences have enriched her life and career!
Ms. Avilez is inspired to work with children because they are eager to learn about themselves, others, and the world.
