meet dr. Jessica merricks
I am a science teacher at Hawthorne Academy of Health Sciences in Charlotte, NC. Currently, I teach Greenhouse Biology, Earth and Environmental Science, and Biology. Before moving to Charlotte, I taught biology courses at several colleges and universities in Georgia, Missouri, and Kansas.
I grew up right down the road in Columbia, South Carolina. After high school, I studied environmental science and psychology at Tulane University. I earned a PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Missouri in 2014 (go Tigers!).
When I am not at school, I am enjoying time with my husband and our very active one-year old, Maya. We love the outdoors, eating at new restaurants, going to the movies, and playing video games.

As you might have gathered from the photos above, I have spent some time with frogs. Before becoming a teacher, I spent my time researching the behavior of North American tree frogs. As part of that adventure, I have wadded in swamps filled with alligators, stepped over venomous copperhead snakes, and wandered through the woods in the middle of the night. I have so many stories to share with you! I hope my experiences spark a curiosity for the natural world around you.
