Meet The Instructors
Hi, I'm Miss Christine. I've lived in Amherst for 14 years, with my husband, 2 kids, dog, and 3 birds. When my kids were younger, we did lots of programs at PMEC, and always loved them. I'm happy to be here at PMEC helping another generation of families learn and explore nature here!
Hello! I am Michele Koltookian, a fellow Amherst resident and mom of twin boys. I am so grateful to be a PMEC educator and to be able to share my passion for all things science and nature. I am a former researcher who worked in the field of dog genetics. I hold a B.S. in Marine Science and Biology along with an M. Ed. in secondary education. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, and spending time outdoors. I am excited to bring my love of science and the knowledge that I gained over the years to kids at PMEC.
