NSTA's current membership of 60,000 includes science teachers, science supervisors, administrators, scientists, business and industry representatives, and others involved in and committed to science education.
Mrs. Annee, who earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Purdue University and her master’s in Effective Teaching in Secondary Education from Butler University, is in her 14th year at Brebeuf Jesuit, where she has taught a variety of science courses including biology, honors chemistry, integrated chemistry/physics and biotechnology. She currently teaches honors biotechnology (a popular science elective amongst Brebeuf Jesuit seniors). Before coming to Brebeuf, she taught biology, physical science and chemistry at Roncalli High School.
Along with being a member of the NSTA and HASTI, Mrs. Annee is a member of the National Association of Biology Teachers and the Indiana Association of Biology Teachers. She has been named a Butler University Distinguished Alumna (2009), a Teacher of the Future by the National Association of Independent Schools (2009), and an Outstanding Biology Teacher for Indiana (2005), and won a Jesuit Secondary Educator Award (2005).

Throughout Mrs. Annee’s career in science education, she has participated in a number of distinguished conferences, including the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Holiday Lectures in 2009 and 2010. At the NSTA National Conference in San Francisco this March, she will be co-presenting the 2010 HHMI material, a "Click and Learn” called "Dengue Vector Intervention,” which she co-authored with three other colleagues. This material will also appear on HHMI’s BioInteractive website and "Viral Outbreak: The Science of Emerging Diseases” DVD in March. While in San Francisco, she will also be officially "promoting” Indianapolis as the NSTA National Conference will be held here next year, March 29-April 1, 2012.
