Carleton College
I am a Science Education Associate at SERC. Prior to joining SERC, I was an assistant professor at Gustavus Adolphus College interested in structural geology, tectonics, and geoscience education.
As a Science Education Associate, I design, conduct, collaborate on, and/or consult with projects and organizations that support effective practices in science education. I lead or support professional development events (e.g., workshops, webinars) and collaborate with project evaluators and research teams to design and conduct studies of program outcomes. I also develop ideas, build partnerships, and write grant proposals for new projects with SERC colleagues and other collaborators.Website Content Contributions
