Debbie French is an Assistant Professor of Science Education and Director of Secondary Education at Wake Forest University. She started making guitars as a part of the STEM Guitar project when she was a high school physics, science, and engineering teacher at a school whose mascot was, somewhat paradoxically, the Fighting Quaker. She then did her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wyoming. When she isn’t professing, she likes to play tennis and curl (the ice-and-broom kind, not the barbell kind).
