About Ms. Terrell:

I am so thrilled to be a part of the Frederick Douglass team! I received my bachelor's degree in animal sciences at the University of Missouri in order to pursue a career in the animal research industry. After working with animals for a few years I decided to return to the University of Missouri in order to work with our excellent youth once again. I completed my master's program in secondary science education with certification in 2020. Now I am combining my practical science knowledge with our science curriculum to better engage our students. Feel free to contact me about how I can best support our beloved bulldogs!
