debbie.owens@uky.edu
Debbie was a high school science teacher for 24 years before beginning her work as a regional program coordinator for the Appalachian Math Science Partnership (AMSP) in 2005. After the original AMSP grant expired October 1, 2007, her position as a regional program coordinator was reduced to a half-time position. It was then that she officially began working with PIMSER in a half-time capacity, assisting Kim Zeidler with the overall coordination of the K-12 Outreach Division of PIMSER. She works directly with the Math Leadership Support Networks and the Network for New Math and Science Teachers. As her work with AMSP fades this year her role with PIMSER will grow to be a full-time commitment. She looks forward to contributing to the work done by PIMSER in facilitating the growth of math and science education in Kentucky.
