Michelle Bowles (previously Crites) is very excited to be a new Lambkin this year. She has previously taught Biology, Honors Biology, and Human Anatomy & Physiology at Northridge High School in Greeley and, before that, Animal Science, Plant Science, and Construction Trades at Greeley West High School. She is a CSU Ram and is currently finishing her MA in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wyoming.
Michelle's husband, Patrick, is also a high school science teacher. Together they own two dogs, Koda and Rosie Mae, two turtles, Neo and Peggy, and a whole bunch of fish. Outside of work you can find them running with the dogs, riding road bikes, or at home baking, cooking, grilling, or using the smoker to create delicious meals. Michelle is originally from a suburb of Chicago and moved to Fort Collins in 2011.
