	'''Erin Hazell''' is a human biologist and resident of [[Winthorpe]], most famed for founding [[Cedar Crest University]] during her youth. Her alma mater is ~~TODO~~, and she claims her experiences as a student and parent have shaped her educational philosophy. She is the adoptive mother of one, Michael Hazell, who also studied architecture at ~~TODO~~ a few years before she founded Cedar Crest. Michael himself is father to two, Alfred and Jennifer Hazell, the former of whom is an alumnus of Cedar Crest and the latter is currently studying mathematics.		'''Erin Hazell''' is a human biologist and resident of [[Winthorpe]], most famed for founding [[Cedar Crest University]] during her youth.

	Hazell is a published author, having written her first book ''The Garden Next Door'' in 1984, and her second, ''On Top of the Cedar Tree,'' in 1993.

	Hazell was born on the January 12, 1920 to parents John and Lisa Hazell, and immediately developed an interest in botany at a when she was young, as recounted in the opening paragraphs of ''The Garden Next Door.'' During her teenage years, she remained an active member of the community and participated in many citywide events to raise awareness about environmental concerns, and promote gardening as a mental health outlet and charitable deed alike.

	Hazell studied horticulture and education at ~~TODO~~ circa 1940 and, after graduation, was employed as an extracurricular teacher in Winthorpe. Languished with the state of affairs of secondary and post-secondary education, in 1961, she resigned her title as a teacher and spent the better half of a year continuing to study botany, performing contracting work for various international firms. Citing a moment of ethereal inspiration in 1963 after encountering a large cedar tree, ~~“standing~~ unopposed in the center of a vast, humbling ~~plain”~~, she decided to establish and build a university around the tree as an effective tribute to nature.

She is known for sitting in on classes and working directly with students, occasionally making a fool of herself trying to involve herself in demonstrations. "More than a few chemistry teachers have told me 'not to mix those together, damn it!' I think it's more fun that way," she elucidated in a technical interview on a local radio show conducted in 1990.

Phew. That took a chunk out of me.

Impassioned rant aside, I am a firm believer in the dire need of an educational revolution. I am not the only one who believes our current approach to education is inadequate—it is a common pain, felt by students, parents and fellow educators alike. Many analysts have claimed this revolution will be enacted by a wave of new technology, although I bear a different perspective. I wholly embrace the integration of modern technology into our learning workflow, although I believe the true impetus of the revolution shall be in the form of a change in educational strategy.

=== Coauthored ===

Hazell has coauthored multiple biology and botany textbooks and open resources, generally to positive reception. Many of her materials have been used in curricula taught by Cedar Crest, although many others remain disused in favor of more mature alternatives.
