Ms. Amy Schauer
Director, Science Instructional Coordinator
After completing her B.S. at the University of Tennessee in Wildlife and Fisheries Science and her M.S. in Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia, Amy went to the University of Alaska to study seabird ecology in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. Her work in oceanography took her to waters around the former USSR (Siberia), Greenland, and Antarctica - among the coldest and most productive oceans on Earth. Amy has also worked as a park naturalist/ranger, reference librarian and artist. She brings all this together at CREST, working with teachers and students to develop their understanding of the phenomena in the world around them through the practices and core ideas of science. Amy lives in West Linn with her husband, Jay, and their twins, Liam and Benjamin. When not at CREST, she’s likely to be outdoors with her family, gardening, birding, backpacking/hiking, or playing her guitar.
