Meet The Instructors
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.

Hi, my name is Chenais (Sha-nay) and I’m so excited to be here. I live in town with my husband and two young children. We spend as much time outdoors as we can playing, learning, adventuring and exploring. I love teaching, and helping others. I look forward to being an educator at PMEC and expanding my knowledge of the outdoors.
