Aniin, Ms. Wendy Fuller niindizhnikaaz zhaginaashemowin. I have enjoyed teaching high school science at the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe schools for the past 10 years and am looking forward to my 11th year. Science is my passion and as an educator, I aspire to instill a spark of curiosity in all of my students. Prior to becoming a high school science teacher, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Biology from the University of Montana. As a wildlife biologist I worked for the Department of Defense in Fort Richardson, Alaska, primarily focusing on avian poisoning from a munitions dump. I then went on to work for the Bureau of Land Management in Craig, Colorado, surveying sites for Black-footed ferret reintroduction. Wanting to further my education, I returned to school and earned my Master of Science in Animal Science. Using my master’s degree, I worked for Montana State University as a researcher studying interactions between elk, mule deer and cattle. After moving to Wisconsin, I returned to school and received my teaching licensure through St. Mary’s University. I really enjoy teaching and am thrilled when my students see the world opening up before them. Most recently, I have earned my Geographic Information Systems Technician certificate from Bismarck State College. Learning is a life-long endeavor that I encourage everyone, regardless of their age, to embrace.
