Please take some time to get to know Ms. Salimeh Hobeheidar, one of two new full time science teachers at Arete Prep for fourth quarter. Ms. H, however, is not completely new to the school; she was a student teacher for Ms. Kienenberger during first semester.
Ms. Salimeh Hobeheidar
"I was born and raised in Arizona. I graduated from Arizona State University with Bachelors in Secondary Education focusing on Earth and Space science. I want to inspire my students to follow their passions and show them how interesting science can be! When I have some free time, I make jewelry with a variety of minerals. I enjoy spending time in places like the botanical garden and aquariums. I am also a dinosaur nut! I collect dinosaur figurines, read books, and watch documentaries about them, because I want to know as much as I can about them!"
