THE EDUCATOR
About
THE EDUCATOR
As an Educator, I employ a holistic approach that incorporates socratic querying, mentorship, teaching, and curriculum development. I work with a myriad of diverse students of all ages and education levels (e.g. K-12, undergraduates, and master’s students). My expertise extends far beyond my scientific contribution, as I consistently advocate for and work to improve K-12 STEM education and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in STEM and Environmental Conservation fields. Throughout my time in Florida, I worked alongside the Office of Service Learning to develop programs for students in the Pinellas County School System, which contains some of the lowest-performing schools in the state of Florida (see Failure Factories). My work focused on exposing at-risk dropout high school and middle school students to opportunities for higher education and to educate the Eckerd College community on pressing issues and inequalities within America’s education system. I have also worked as an educator and science communicator with John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth and the Duke University Marine Lab Community Science Initiative. Currently, I serve as the Director of Instruction & Curriculum Development for iNviTechnology (iNviTECH), where I am designing a 9-week STEM curriculum for iNviTECH’s summer camp & track-out programs and creating an after-school coding program for youth in Durham Public Schools.
