Hello! My name is Dana Bachelder and I will be facilitating our Wednesday night lab. I can't wait to meet all of you and go on this incredible journey through the human body.

I have been in education for 27 years - most of which have been as a high school science teacher and adjunct faculty member at Aquinas College, University of Phoenix, and Kellogg Community College. I am currently an Asst. Principal at Union High School in Grand Rapids.

I share 5 kids with my husband, who is the Facilities Director at the Downtown Market in Grand Rapids, and we also have a mini-Goldendoodle named Max.

I enjoy the outdoors, games like Sequence, Mexican Train, and Euchre, and spending time with family and friends.

Hi, my name Robin and I will be in your summer class this semester. I am very excited to learn biology.

Hello! My name is Julia Cole, and I am pleased to be taking this class! I am in the Early College Program entering my 13th year (1st year out of high school) and am excited to begin a new chapter of college.

I live with my two parents and our yellow lab, Maya, in Newaygo County. When I am not working or doing schoolwork, I typically spend time in our pool soaking up the summer sun and enjoy working out on the weekends.

I am taking this course to further my education to my specific major, nursing, for which this course is a prerequisite. I am excited to explore the human body and become familiar with the vocabulary and terms of this course. I'm looking forward to the next 12 weeks!

Hello. My name is James Mullins. I am 20 years old. I have been going to MCC for two years now, and after this semester I will be transferring to GVSU to pursue a degree in some type of science (probably not biology). The reason I am taking this class is because it is a required class for my associate's before I transfer. Some of my hobbies include playing video games, standing around, and sleeping. Hopefully this will be a very fun and wholesome semester.

Hello! My name is Tasia and I'm thrilled to finally be back in school. I graduated in '11 and shortly after received my MA from Ross Medical. I currently work full time as a GI Technician at North Ottawa Community Hospital. When we aren't running cases in Endoscopy, I normally will work in our OR office, but really I could be pulled to a number of other departments such as Med/Surg, ER, and Lab to name a few. I LOVE learning and will always have questions. I'm a mom of 4, ages ranging from 5-12, so my home life can be just as busy as my work life. In my free time, I very much enjoy reading and gaming; mainly pc. I'm taking BIOL so I can gain the knowledge and skillset to preform as a surgical technician, with the ultimate goal of becoming an RN First Assist.

Hi! I'm Madison Bryant, but typically go by Maddie. I graduated from GVSU with my BA in Spanish and Business at the end of 2019. However, without much direction in how I wanted to use this degree and with the pandemic approaching, I found myself working at an assisted living facility in Grand Haven as a CNA thinking it would be a "for now" position. As it turned out, I LOVE working in the medical field and with the elderly and vulnerable. I am currently at the same facility, but am now a Med-Tech in our Alzheimer's/Dementia Unit as well as a Shift Supervisor and still absolutely love it. I am planning to become an RN, thus my reasoning for taking this course. Though, what really made me certain of this path was watching my grandmother suffer through, and ultimately lose her battle with lung cancer and wishing that there was more that I could do for her.

I am from and still live in Grand Haven with my boyfriend and our two cats. In my free time I enjoy camping, kayaking, and having fires in our backyard.

Hi, I'm Michelle. Being a mother of three grown children and a grammie to 4 has been a blessing. I have decided to go to college to be an RN, late in life but it has always been my dream. This is much harder to do after being out of school for over 30 years. Memorizing and technology has not been my friend! In my younger years I was a CNA working with those who had Alzheimers and dementia, a medical assistant, interior designer and several years ago a store owner in Grand Haven but my greatest joy in life was being able to be a stay at home mom. I am a creative person so I love all things art. I love to spend time with my family, read and travel. I am taking this course because it is required. Learning some of it is great, yet some of it, not so much!
