      Science Researcher - IODP Project

      Geoscience Educator

      I utilized knowledge of individual differences and needs to create safe learning communities, developed geoscience focused (geology, meteorology, and climatology) lessons, and engaged scholars through discussion and activities-- often connecting them to field experts and research. In addition to classroom instruction, I served as an academic advisor for the Environmental Club, maintained regular communication with families and staff, collected, analyzed, and utilized data to assist in reflective and equitable practices.

      Jul 2020 - Jun 2022

      I worked alongside the science team as a servant leader. In this role, I collaborated with the Principal to ensure that our shared department vision– a research and discussion based student-led classroom– came to fruition. This position required that I not only maintain records that show alignment to this goal but also coached others in the department, led professional learning community (PLC) meetings, reviewed weekly lesson plans, analyzed performance data, maintained constant communication, ordered department specific equipment, offered input on potential science candidates, and met with others in administration.I am most proud of having led a district-wide technology training workshop for 115 staff members, and assisting students in achieving 67% growth on the ACT Aspire during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic (virtual learning).
