My name is Elizabeth Schuster, and I am an Austin native and UT Austin graduate. I have been a teacher for 22 years, with the past 8 years spent teaching 5th grade students at Spicewood Elementary. I greatly enjoyed working with the Rosales biochemistry research lab via RET last summer, and am excited to work with the Stachowiak biomedical research lab this year. My passion is using these unique experiences to develop more engaging science investigations for students in my school and district. I want to inspire more students to become engineers!
