About The Teacher

Mrs. Forbes earned her Bachelor's of Science in Bacteriology from University 
of Wisconsin-Madison in 1988, spent 2.5 years doing cancer research on the UW 
campus, and then went to Abbott Laboratories to be a research scientist.  
After being a molecular biologist in Pharmaceutical Research & Development 
at Abbott Labs for 8+ yrs, and being a cell biologist in Biotechnology in 
Madison, WI for a short time, she decided to leave the big city, marry the 
man she fell in love with, and move to rural Michigan.  

This led to a change in careers, a Certification in Biology & 
Math, and a Masters of Education from Ferris State University.  She taught at 
Morley Stanwood High for 5 years, and now she is  at the MSTC guiding math 
and science students.  

"Teaching is something I love just as much as being a scientist - I'm truly 
blessed to have found another awesome & fun career!"

Mission For The Class

For all to be 'active learners'.  "Don't just sit there - DO SOMETHING!"
