The AMPed Team

Anne Marie knew she wanted to be a teacher since she was 5 years old. She’s been working with students 1:1, in small groups, and in classrooms for 20 years and is the first to tell everyone she has the best job in the world. Her experience as a classroom teacher, homeschooling parent, special educator, educational consultant, advocate, and parent make her an asset to the AMPed team.

Hi!  I’m Ms. May, the upper elementary teacher at AMPed.  My experience as an elementary school teacher, home school mom, and nature enthusiast means I’m always ready and willing to help kids learn in all sorts of unique ways.  In class, we’re hands-on, and brains on!  We get messy, we ask questions, and we find the answers together.  Music, science, math, literacy skills, and so much more are happening every day in our class.  Stop in for a visit and you might find us feeding our classroom pet bearded dragon the kale we grew ourselves,  singing and moving to songs from all different cultures, investigating a new specimen we found in the Nature Lab, or maybe reading a story about how to be a good friend.  No matter what, we’re learning about our world, and having lots of fun doing it.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, playing with my dogs, reading a good book and baking!  My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip, although chocolate peanut butter is a close second!

Hi! I’m Kevin, AMPed’s own bearded dragon. I like to lounge around in my home at AMPed Hybrid Academy and watch the kids learn. Sometimes I come out to visit the kids, but I prefer to stay snuggled up in my blanket when I do.

Hi, my name is Redwana Rahman, and I am a first-year college student. I am studying pre-med, and ever since I was young, I have known that I wanted to become a doctor. One of my passions is working with kids. I have experience working with children in various situations, such as tutoring and assisting at a children’s hospital during a medical class in high school in 2023. Although I am currently a pre-med student, my future plans involve becoming a pediatrician or children’s psychologist, as I am drawn to careers that involve working with children. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I like playing my favorite sports, reading, or simply watching Netflix with my brother.

Hi! I’m Dr. Husam Alrehaili. I’ve spent my career studying and teaching mechanical engineering. I enjoy helping train the engineers of tomorrow in labs at Wayne State University. I’m excited to be joining the AMPed team as the STEM advisor, helping develop our custom curriculum that keeps kids asking “Why?” and “How?” and then guides them to find out the answer. In my spare time, you’ll find me running obstacle course races, cooking way too much food for my friends, checking out coffee shops, or taking a spontaneous road trip to explore a new place.

My name is Lawson Henry. I am a Junior studying Marketing at Auburn University. I joined the AMPed team as a Marketing Intern in September of 2023, where I will be assisting in analysis, advertisements, and social media management. I cannot wait to help AMPed Education grow and prosper within the community.
