In my professional life I have always looked beyond where I am to seek out expertise that will enhance my practice. At this point in my career my collective experiences have successfully provided the framework for the development of my ability to implement a broad scope of education programs at the Discovery Building on the University of Wisconsin Madison campus.
My journey that has brought to this point includes time as a practitioner, both as a high school science teacher and in my current role as the WARF Education & Outreach Manager at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery. It also includes work based in research in Science Education where I earned my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Wisconsin Madison under Dr. John Rudolph as I investigated methods of assessment of student's conceptual understanding of Organic Chemistry. My works also includes research in Structural Biology in investigating complexes of assembly of the Spliceosome and Insulin Oligomers at the University of London-Birkbeck where I earned a Master's Degree in Structural Biology.
My broad focus of my doctoral research through Boise State University will connect to STEM and use of Educational Technology. In the next few academic terms my specific focus will be likely be refined to one of the below areas:
As a scholarly practitioner I am excited to investigate and seek out the great potential to utilize educational technology to assist in implementation of STEM learning programs across many formal and informal learning settings. By developing techniques to support deeper engagement by participants the broader impacts reach of the programs expands to the benefit of all involved.

- STEM digital modeling of conceptual learning of students
- STEM hybrid teacher professional development models assessed by transformational change of teacher practice
- STEM Education Technology implementation(s) and impacts on the achievement gap.
