I am a Learning Designer with the Center for Education Through Exploration (ETX). Over the last two decades, my passion for science and art has guided me to research in labs, teach in classrooms and outdoors, and organize events supporting education, science, and the arts. In my undergraduate and graduate studies, I researched migration patterns of warblers and hormone development in falcon nestlings. I then taught 4th grade homeroom, 4th-6th outdoor education, 6th-12th grade sciences/math/studio arts, and college Biology. To better support my educator colleagues, I transitioned to developing resources and organizing events for teachers. Now at ETX, I seek to create quality resources to help students both learn concepts and open their mind to the world's (and universe's) wonders.
