Education Coordinator of Marine Science, CBNERR at VIMS
I serve as the Education Coordinator for the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, where we focus on providing education and outreach for the local K-12 audience, including field experiences for students, professional development for teachers, and outreach programs for the general public. I am the co-PI for the Virginia Scientists & Educators Alliance (VASEA), focused on training graduate students on science communication and translating research into K-12 education products. My research interests include student and teacher environmental literacy, preparation of pre-service teachers to utilize outdoor learning, and technology use within environmental education.
