She has been teaching high school chemistry for more than 10 years and is currently teaching at Washburn High School in Minneapolis.  Dr. Osuji is being recognized for her expertise in chemistry pedagogies and devotion to inspiring all learners including students of color, and their teachers in keeping with the goals of the ACS award.  As a distinguished and talented high school chemistry teacher, Angela has stepped beyond the classroom to use her leadership skills for the good of all Minnesota science teachers and their students.
