We are very pleased to recognize Jennifer Gazdovich for our Teacher recognition. Mrs. Gazdovich is a Physics Teacher and Science Olympiad Adviser at Kenmore West High School.

Mrs. Gazdovich truly distinguishes herself as a learner and teacher. Her curiosity and enthusiasm for learning is evident through her diverse professional experiences.

Mrs. Gazdovich was selected to conduct research at CERN, European Organization for Nuclear Research. She used this experience to create a learning activity for students and teachers that allows them to build understanding around the connections between physics and biology through PET scan technology.
