I am a Manager in the Science Education Department at Seattle Children's Research Institute where I facilitate multiple education outreach programs.

I am an accomplished laboratory research scientist and a subject matter expert in infectious diseases and microbiology.

I am a passionate science educator with extensive mentorship and teaching experience in both the classroom and at the lab bench.  

I have dedicated myself to being an integral member of a team that provides students with multiple points of access to educational opportunities in science. I enthusiastically build partnerships with research staff, teachers, and community members to develop creative ways to engage and enable young scientists to become future STEMM professionals.
