TS Douglas

T.S. Douglas is a Scientist, Researcher, Educator, Fashion Designer and Author. She graduated with a B.S. & M.S. in Molecular, Cellular & Microbial Biology (Chicago State University, 2003, 2008). She completed her thesis in an Immunology lab that focused on innate and adaptive immunity and analyzed her results through many arrays of mRNA and Protein analyses. While pursuing a Ph.D at Northwestern University in 2006, she published the results of her Prostate Cancer research surrounding Developmental Biology at the Robert H. Lurie Research Center of Children’s Memorial Hospital. When T.S. Douglas began teaching university-level Biology courses in 2008, she was led back to school to complete her M.A.T. & Secondary Teaching Certificate (2012). She simultaneously started teaching middle and high school students for Chicago Public Schools (CPS), while executing her Adjunct Faculty position with City Colleges of Chicago. After the major turn-around that occurred for CPS in 2013, she decided to expand upon her Fashion Engineering skills and enrolled in a Fashion Design Program. Her B.S.A. in Fashion Design (2016) led her into designing, drafting, & sewing her own collections; along with working for Thomas Pink, a British, shirt-making company, focusing on Visuals, Operations & Sales (2014-2017). During this time, she managed to complete her 1st textbook publication entitled Cellular Nutrition (2018).

When T.S. Douglas first started teaching in 2008, her teaching philosophies were focused around building & establishing relationships, leading by example, and passing down her trained talents & techniques. After over 10 years of educating at Collegiate and Secondary levels, she has adopted other philosophies to her teaching practices. T.S. Douglas consistently educates others on the importance of practice, application & implementation of information they are learning, from their classes to their everyday lives; always applying structure (what), function (how) & purpose (why) of content when organizing information on a Molecular and Cellular level; and understanding that we, as humans, are entitled to be Scientists, Researchers, Educators, Authors, Artists, Entrepreneurs, Innovators & Inventors. T.S. Douglas resides in Chicago where she continues to employ her education, experiences, training, talents and techniques to help others find their individual messages so they can truly live their best, purposefully-driven life.
