My name is Sheryll Hahn, with another first name, Tersiphone (Ter-si-fo-nee). My father is a biologist who loves bird watching and named me after the genus of a bird that inhabits the forests of the Philippines.

I LOVE the beauty and design of nature which led me to have a background in science, with a degree in microbiology from UC Davis and a certificate in art & graphic design.

I am passionate about what I teach and I enjoy the curiosity and wonder when educating our younger generations. I take on the responsibility to show them how science works and what science has already uncovered about how the world works around them. With this, my intention is to bring up aware individuals whom understand that we are all fundamentally connected, and that when we work with each other we create a brighter, more equitable future!

I am a Filipina-American who lives in Monterey, California. I teach both 7th and 8th grade science at Seaside Middle School, along with run the LGBTQ+ and Garden club. I have 2 lovely teenage gay children who have taught me how large my heart can be!

If I had all the time and money in the world, I would choose to travel (eating while traveling), biking & hiking outdoors, reading science-fiction books, goof off with my crazy 4-person family, and spend the rest of my time between napping and doing something creative!
