Bio

My first experience with planetary science education came as a graduate student at the University of Arizona, where I was a member of the E/PO program for the Mars Phoenix mission. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a master’s degree in Teaching and Teacher Education with a minor in Planetary Science. After graduate school, I taught high school physics and Earth and space science for one year before coming to LPI.

At LPI, I lead both lunar and Mars education efforts, including E/PO for the ChemCam instrument onboard NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity. I assist with LPI's Explore program and lead LPI’s public speaker series, the Cosmic Explorations Speaker Series.
