I am an informal science and environmental educator with a talent for building partnerships and collaborations that can help youth and educators be successful in STEM. I have a track record of successfully developing and managing youth and adult programs, writing grants, designing curriculum, and being an engaging and thoughtful k-12 educator through the use of hands-on, experiential, and inquiry methods.  I have a solid understanding of how to help educators improve their STEM teaching practices and have organized and executed numerous day and multi-day long professional development events both in person and online. I have experience developing materials and creating curriculum that is grounded in equity with the goal of connecting all topics to real world and culturally relevant learning.
