Renee Chaffatte was born and raised in the vibrant island nation of Jamaica, where her love for science first took root. A dedicated educator with a strong foundation in chemistry, she has spent her career igniting curiosity and confidence in her students. With a BSc in Forensic Chemistry and an MSc in STEM Education, Renee blends deep scientific expertise with creative, student-centered teaching.
For over seven years, she has championed hands-on, real-world learning experiences that make chemistry come alive—whether through dynamic lab experiments, problem-solving challenges, or connections to everyday life. Her goal is not only to teach concepts but to empower students to see themselves as scientists and innovators.
Outside the classroom, Renee is an avid traveler who draws inspiration from exploring diverse cultures and cuisines, enriching her teaching with global perspectives. She remains committed to shaping the next generation of critical thinkers, problem solvers, and lifelong learners.
