Beverly Lynch

Bio:
An experienced teacher, Ms. Lynch has taught in an independent school, and is now in her 9th year with MCPS. She came to B-CC primarily to teach IB Chemistry.

A transplant from western Pennsylvania, Ms. Lynch has degrees from Johns Hopkins and Maryland; her strongest attachment, however, is for her undergrad school, Duke. She admits to organizing a bloc of Duke fans at B-CC, warning that they will be "a force to contend with."

One of the advantages of teaching is having your summers off-and, for Ms. Lynch, being able to visit her daughter serving in the Peace Corps in West Africa. This experience, in addition to being "the most enlightening and exciting trip" she's ever taken, taught her the importance of being fluent in other languages. Her daughter, who speaks three languages, has "a real advantage in today's world."
