Hi, my name is Tianyan Hartlep. I live in Appleton with my husband Mike and two kids Julia (6) and Joshua (4). I was born in China and went to college in China. I came to USA 20 years ago to go to NC State for my graduate school in wood and paper science. I worked at Appleton for 11 years as a research engineer. before I became stay home Mom. I joined ACT program this fall to start my new journey to be trained to be a high school /middle school science teacher.
I think that our team was named after Kamen because he is an inspiration for us. He is a great teacher. He is persistent on research work. He takes the challenging project and working hard on it. His energy, his passion on his work is truly a good example for us.
I have two kids almost the exact same ages (mine are 7 and 4)! It sounds like you are a lot like Kamen because you seem to be very persistent in your goals as well. You have done a lot in your life already, and it sounds like you have a lot of great experience to bring with you into the science classroom.
