Ms. Liza Wernicke
lwernick@pointschools.net

     I graduated from the Stevens Point Area Senior High (SPASH) in 2005 and started college at UW-Stevens Point the following fall.  I eventually decided to pursue majors in both physics and geology.
     During my college experience, I had the privilege of traveling to many interesting and educational destinations.  I participated in an astronomy internship in Valdosta, Georgia, during which I had the opportunity to visit Kitt Peak, Arizona; I spent four nights observing asteroids and three days exploring the desert.  I traveled to the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico for an undergraduate workshop in support of the radio astronomy research that I participated in.  I also went on a geology field trip to the Southwest United States, where I visited several National Parks and other locations of geologic interest. 
     I also enjoyed many practical experiences at UWSP.  I worked at the planetarium and observatory, performed research in astronomy, physics, and geology, and tutored both for the Department of Physics & Astronomy and for the Tutoring Learning Center.  My tutoring experiences helped me to realize that I would enjoy a career in teaching, and I decided to teach at the high school level.
     I student taught at SPASH during the fall semester of 2013, and began teaching full-time at SPASH during the 2014-2015 academic year.  I am very happy to be teaching at SPASH!
