Summary

I’m an educator with over a decade of formal education and administrative experience at the advanced high school level teaching marine and environmental science.  I also have significant research and field experience, having participated in oceanographic research cruises, as well as leading numerous student field courses and mentoring countless student independent research projects.  My passions in education and outreach focus on effective science communication strategies for students, educators, and researchers, as well as providing students with tangible, real-world, inter-disciplinary extensions of their classroom studies, thus allowing students to become the owners and authors of their learning.
