Darlene Gentles started her teaching career as a Graduate Assistant at HSU after graduating
from Garland County Community College and Henderson State University with degrees
in Biology and General Science. After grad school she began teaching Anatomy, Biology,
Chemistry and Microbiology labs and worked as the lab manager at National Park Community
College. As the college grew, she began teaching Biology, Botany and Zoology lectures
too. Over two decades later, Mrs. Gentles still enjoys teaching immensely. The challenge
of introducing the new Associate of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree has been
rewarding, and working with students is her favorite part of the job!
