Doré Young has wanted to be a teacher since 8th grade. This ambition prompted her to use high school as job shadowing and teach at MESD Outdoor School in Oregon, where she sang silly songs and unearthed many earthworms. She was later crowned a Portland Rose Princess and received the Friends of Outdoor School scholarship. At Colorado College, she was the Student Body President, won the Exceptional Engagement in Diversity and Inclusion Award, and totally fell in love with chemistry. Doré is excited to show students that pouring from containers to other containers (one of our most primal human instincts) can serve as a way to a brighter future. Along with being a scientist, she is a choreographer excited to expand her creative horizon Eastward. After completing the MAT program, Doré will stay in Rhode Island as an Urban Education Fellow.
