I became involved with the NAGT following the 2019 AGM held in Penticton BC. I came on as 2nd VP in the Pacific Northwest Section and took on the President's position in 2023. I have attended the Earth Educators Rendezvous in 2021, 2022, and 2023. I have served since 2022 on a national ad-hoc committee on Sections, helping improve how NAGT sections are structured and supported.
I have an ongoing interest in helping academic departments provide better information on careers and licensure to students, and recently completed a study on how departments and geoscience profession regulatory bodies can better communicate (http://hdl.handle.net/2429/85444).
