Interview with Felix K. Amankona-Diawuo, Science

August 25, 2014

Screen Shot 2014-08-24 at 9.06.23 PM   Felix K. Amankona-Diawuo will be teaching chemistry in the upper school. He grew up in Ghana, and moved to the U.S. to attend high school at the United World College in Montezuma, New Mexico. Because it wasn’t cold enough in NM, he moved to Northfield, Minnesota to attend Carleton College, where he majored in chemistry. Felix earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from Northwestern University last year, and is excited to join the Latin family.   Click here for interview   *All written bios taken from The Latin School’s website]]>
