Mariann Gabrawy was initially hired as a part-time Biology Instructor at Saint Paul College in 2005. One year later, she was hired to teach biology courses at the College full-time and joined the student-centered Biology Department on a permanent basis. She is interested in all aspects of biology and shares her enthusiasm with her students in the courses she teaches, including General Biology 1: The Living Cell and Anatomy and Physiology 1. She also designed and teaches three new courses in the Biology Department: Introduction to Forensic Science, General Biology 2: The Living World, and Exploring Biology. Mariann earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with an emphasis in Zoology and a Master’s degree in Ecology and Natural Resources from St. Cloud State University, Minnesota. Her experience includes five years of teaching and ten years of tutoring biology, chemistry, and physics students. For Mariann, the best part of teaching biology is facing the challenge of motivating students, helping them as they develop an understanding and appreciation of biological processes and concepts, and watching them become more interested in the study of life. Her goals are to provide quality science education, help build self-confidence, and leave a positive impact on her students that will last them a lifetime.
