Natasha Beck (1969)

I had Miss Hoyt for social studies at Okemos Jr. High. I learned a great deal from one of the hardest working teachers I had in my 13 years at Okemos schools. Social studies remained my favorite subject,and I later received my BA in history and women's studies and my MAT with secondary social studies certification. I have taught for over 40 years in higher ed (women's studies),adult ed (ESL),and high school (social studies,ESL and Spanish). My family history book,Our Family Legacy,will be published in 2023.
