Ms. DeGon's 7th Grade Science Class

About Me:
Picture
I am originally from Worcester, Massachusetts. I moved to Georgia about 3 years ago and I do not miss the snow. I just graduated from Georgia College and State University with my Master's of Education with concentrations in math and science Before working on my Master's I had received my Bachelor's in Health Sciences at Merrimack College. I did my residency last year at BCMS and was eager to accept the position as a 7th grade science teacher. I reside in Augusta, GA with my two dogs, Piper and Bauer. When I am not teaching I enjoy traveling, eating, visiting my family, and going on outdoor adventures with my dogs.
