Sara Cahill
Science Teacher, Stevenson High School, Lincolnshire, IL Former Development Chemist, UOP, Des Plaines, IL

I am currently teaching College Prep Physics and AP Physics B and am the sponsor for the Stevenson chapter of Operation Snowball. I student taught at Stevenson in the spring of 2004 in chemistry and physics. Prior to coming to Stevenson I was employed for four years as a Development Chemist doing in-house research using Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to develop process control programs. What I liked best about my work was troubleshooting plant anomalies using data analysis, and what I liked least was that I worked alone a lot of the time.

My undergraduate work was completed at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in Chemical Engineering. I completed a Master Degree in Education at DePaul University to become certified to teach chemistry and physics. Currently I am working towards a second Master Degree through National Louis University that focuses on the use of technology in education.
