She holds both a Master of Science and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from George Mason University and spent two years at Georgetown University, where she passed her qualifying exam for her PhD before pursuing opportunities in field research. With extensive experience in teaching and research, Zirzow has been an active member of the FSW faculty since 2016, where she teaches courses in General Biology and Microbiology. Zirzow’s teaching philosophy emphasizes active learning and student engagement. In her microbiology course, students have the unique opportunity to participate in real-world research through her ongoing project, Isolation and Characterization of Soil-Derived Streptomyces Species for Novel Antibiotic Activity. This initiative not only advances the field of microbiology but also provides her students with rare, hands-on research experience, elevating their academic and career prospects. Beyond the classroom, Zirzow is actively involved in various environmental and community initiatives. She serves as a Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum and Aquarium Shell Ambassador and is a dedicated Calusa Waterkeeper ranger, roles that align with her commitment to environmental conservation and public education. Zirzow is also an avid scuba diver and outdoor enthusiast, often incorporating her love for nature into her teaching and community outreach. Zirzow's artistic side is a vibrant extension of her connection to the natural world. Her color-infused paintings, inspired by the beauty of nature, are celebrated in the local art scene. Her work has been featured in several solo exhibits, including the Alliance for the Arts and the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, and she is a proud member of the Arts for ACT Gallery. Her multifaceted career and commitment to both science and art reflect a deep appreciation for the natural world and a desire to share that passion with others.
