Hailey Garrison

Hailey Garrison serves as Assistant Professor of Biology and Program Chair for Biology, Biochemistry, and KP Sciences within Lasell University's School of Health Sciences. With four years of university-level teaching experience spanning Boston University, Harvard University, and Lasell University, she demonstrates deep commitment to science education pedagogy and curriculum development.

Her educational foundation includes:

• M.S. in Criminal Justice from Lasell University
• B.S. in Forensic Science from Lasell University
• A.S. in Criminal Justice Technology from Pensacola State College

Garrison's research centers on Science Education and Forensic Science, with specific focus on ethical and racial disparities in Forensic DNA phenotyping. Her current doctoral pursuit in Curriculum & Instruction (Science Education Specialization) at Indiana University drives innovative approaches to address inequities in science pedagogy, building on her undergraduate volunteering at MIT teaching forensic science to high school students.

No scientific awards are documented in available materials. As Program Chair, she oversees academic programs but no student advising relationships or research grants are explicitly referenced. Her professional trajectory from MIT volunteer to doctoral candidate reflects sustained dedication to transforming science education through both classroom instruction and systemic research.
