FACULTY SPOTLIGHT | CLARE OLDENBURG

I am the Grammar 5-6 Science teacher! I graduated from Hillsdale College this past May with a degree in Physics and moved to Waco in July.  I have enjoyed sharing my love of science with the Grammar students and can’t wait to keep learning with them!

Exploring Waco has also been such an adventure. In my free time, I play the violin, write, garden, and paint. I love reading anything by C. S. Lewis, Ray Bradbury, Shakespeare, and G. K. Chesterton. I also enjoy spending time with our class pets, Sebastian and Lewis – see them in action HERE! Some fun facts about me are that I have five younger siblings, I spent a summer doing astronomy research, I worked for two years as a laboratory teaching assistant, and I sang in a jazz quartet for two years. 

I am so grateful for the warm welcome I have received from the Live Oak Community!
