I am a geologist by academic and professional training and for the last 20 years have focused my work in science education and research. Between 1998 and 2020 I was involved in teacher professional development and preparation at both the University of New Mexico and Oregon State University. In 2021 I moved to the STEM Research Center as a Senior Researcher and work in evaluation and research for three projects: NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative, Students to Launch and the Oregon Department of Education Well-Rounded Access Program (WRAP). I am also exploring projects connected to online science teacher preparation.

Projects:

• NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (2018-2025)
• Students to Launch
• Well-Rounded Access Program (WRAP)
