Berkeley, Ca

* Creating a new learning space—The Biotech Learning Lab. Collaborating with stakeholders, clarifying goals, prioritizing work, prototyping new experiences, training staff and volunteers.* Forging partnerships with community and UC campus groups to synergize work and showcase local cutting-edge science.* Creating CRISPR gene editing high school unit and summer camp in collaboration with scientist partners. Aligning that work with existing Biotech Lab goals.* Created Microscopes of Tomorrow app and professional learning workshops to bring cutting-edge science to the public and help 4-8th grade teachers use 3-dimensional learning strategies in their classrooms.* Designed and wrote comprehensive guides and materials for three biotech-related summer camps. Providing ongoing support for implementation.

Berkeley, Ca

* Create hands-on, technology-rich constructivist curricular units to support science and literacy instruction for the NGSS-aligned, K-8 curriculum, Amplify Science.* Write and design content for units spanning life, physical, and earth science.* Create digital simulations from initial conception to published product. Serve as consensus builder between curriculum and visual design teams during development.* Create digital tools to aid students in developing science practices.* Evaluate and revise units via in-person classroom piloting and nation-wide field tests

Madison, Wi

* Designed and coordinated the education, outreach, and diversity efforts of this National Science Foundation Center for Chemical Innovation.* Designed the editorial process for and created the public outreach blogs, sustainable-nano.com and nano-sostenible.com; cultivated content and edited submissions.* Created curriculum and managed volunteers for a middle school forensic science clubs.* Cultivated relationships with 4-H and Veterans organizations across 5 universities.* Designed and conducted professional development workshops on science communication.* Managed research experiences for undergraduates (REU) and veterans (REV) programs* Created tabletop activities for use at public science events across 3 states

Madison, Wi

• Taught General Chemistry to a diverse student population• Prepared and facilitated small group cooperative learning activities• Prepared and implemented brief lectures designed to reinforce and break down important concepts• Reinforced positive study skills to a student population often just re-entering academia• Managed lab sections, prefaced by mini-lectures to tie in experiments with class concepts• Designed and graded all assessment material

GreenChemBlog was operated by a group of UC Berkeley chemistry graduate students. Our aim was to provide a critical review of the latest Green Chemistry literature, while providing a forum where current issues including materials, toxicology and synthesis can be discussed by the community.

Created this blog dedicated to showing how cool the universe is and how science can help you appreciate that. Big ideas and simple stories about the complex universe. Science minus details.

Taught organic chemistry lecture and lab using primarily the POGIL (process oriented guided inquiry learning) approach. Created and edited a student blog including literature summaries and "non-traditional" chemistry communication projects. See http://this-organic-life.blogspot.com/

Studied the environmental fate and transport of engineered nanoparticles with Profs. Robert Hamers and Joel Pedersen.

Visited elementary schools to demonstrate and discuss simple chemical principles. Focused on direct interaction with the students through hands-on activities to foster an early interest in science.

Studied physical organic chemistry with a focus on reaction development, catalysis, and kinetic and mechanistic analysis with Profs. Robert Bergman, Dirk Trauner, and Jonathan Ellman.

Performed and published research in catalytic and stoichiometric reaction development under the guidance of Profs. Zhongwu Guo and John Protasiewicz.

Conducted individual and small group tutoring sessions covering general and organic chemistry lecture and laboratory coursework and concepts.

Developed methods and carried out pharmacokinetic analysis of tissue samples via HPLC-MS/MS. Maintained 300-MHz NMR and analytical/preparatory HPLC-MS machines.

Analyzed trace metal, protein, water, and free acid content of soybean oil and meal at various points in the production process via ICP-AE and NIR spectroscopy as well as Karl Fischer and other calorimetric titrations.
