She has B.S. in Biosystems Engineering (2017, Clemson) and will be graduating this month with an M.S. in Biosystems Engineering from Clemson.

She has not settled on her research direction but would like it to relate to social justice in STEM education.
The Teri Garrett Student Success Fund was established in 2021 in honor of Teri Garrett, who retired in June 2021 after serving as the office manager of the ESED since 2016. The Teri Garrett Student Success Fund was established in honor of Teri’s dedication to students and their well-being. The fund will be used as a source for a biannual award given to current ESED Ph.D. students to provide support for needs related to academic success or life success.
