I am passionate about science and learning, and I love teaching at Lincoln High School! I was born and raised in South Africa but moved to the US to obtain my PhD in Molecular Biology at Johns Hopkins University. I did research as a postdoc and then staff scientist in the Basic Sciences Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center for 9 years, but my true calling is education. I received my Master's in Teaching Math and Science from Seattle Pacific University. Prior to teaching at Lincoln, I taught at Hamilton International MS for four years. I am looking forward to continue to build a welcoming, equitable, and empowering environment for all students at Lincoln. I am excited about teaching Chemistry, Physics, and Genome Science this year! I have been living in Seattle since 1998. My husband and I have two daughters, both in college. When not teaching, I like to read and discuss all things sciency, novels, and current events. I also love hiking and camping, swimming, movies, and walking my dog.
I was born and raised in CA and just recently got married and moved to WA with my husband. I earned my Bachelor’s in Mathematics and Bilingual Teaching Credential from San Diego State University in 2013, then eventually earned my Masters in Mathematics Teaching from California State University of Fullerton.
I’m huge on building relationships with my colleagues and students and look forward to my time at LHS.
My name is Robin Ware and I am one of the Health and PE teachers and also the interim Athletic Director at Lincoln. I grew up nearby in Federal Way and then moved to California for college and got degrees in both teaching and athletic training. I worked as an athletic trainer (a medical professional, not a personal trainer) at various high schools for 5 years before working at Boeing for a year. I missed teaching and decided to get back into working with students. I taught for two years at McClure Middle School and got to follow half my students to Lincoln (they’ll never escape me) where I’ve been since the school reopened. I am also the head volleyball coach here at Lincoln #threeteamsonefamily. In my spare time, I like to be lazy and watch movies and tv, bake/eat, and hang out with my husband and family, plus our 3 cats, and 1 dog. I also love to play volleyball, soccer, and pickleball, and just enjoy the Seattle-area in general!
Hello Lynx! I’m looking forward to another year of Science at Lincoln. This year I’ll teach Marine Science and 9th grade science (Physics A/Chemistry A).
This will be my 7th year working with Seattle Public Schools. Before teaching at Lincoln I taught high school science at Garfield and 7th/8th grade science at South Shore in Rainier Beach. My background is in outdoor education. After college I spent over 10 years teaching youth different job readiness, leadership, and outdoor skills. From building trails in local parks to doing marine biology experiments on boats in Puget Sound. I love exploring the natural world and trying to figure out how things work.
In my free time I enjoy biking, swimming, woodworking, growing tomatoes in the pea-patch, baking blackberry pie, and going on outdoor adventures with my family. I have three kids (7 months, 7 years, and 9 years old) and a cat. See you in science!!
