STARBASE ROBINS DIRECTOR

I am originally from New Iberia, Louisiana. I joined the STARBASE ROBINS Team in July 1998 and have been Director since September 1999. My background is in science, particularly in cell biology and molecular microbiology and immunology. I enjoy seeing children learn about the joys and wonders of science. In my time away from STARBASE, (I will not say spare time), I teach college level courses, read, listen to jazz and I am a pretty avid sports fan. I love to cook and share time with family and friends. I have three wonderful sons, Stephen, Wesley III, and Aaron that range in age from 8 to 22.

STARBASE ROBINS PROGRAM ASSISTANT

I am originally from Sarasota, Florida. Florida is famous for having 4 seasons: Summer, Winter, Hurricane & Love Bug! I joined the STARBASE ROBINS team in 1998, shortly after Mr. Fondal. My husband Steve and I have 3 children: Beth, Bobby and Katie. Beth will be getting married in April '06, which will add son-in-law Teague and granddaughter Holly to the family tree. I enjoy cooking, gardening and traveling.

I was born in Warner Robins, Georgia on June 7, 1977, but I was raised in Fort Valley, Georgia. I graduated from Peach County High School in 1995 (GO TROJANS!!!). In spring of 2001 I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work from Fort Valley State University. I came to STARBASE ROBINS in January 2005. I have a passion for helping most living creatures, especially kids. This passion was instilled in me by my mother, Mrs. Annell Dennis and my grandmother, the late Mrs. Rocksilla Tukes. My father, Andrew Dennis Sr, showed me the importance of hard work. Thanks Dad!
