As an instructor, worked with an outreach program taking middle school aged students on field trips to the Florida State University Marine Lab (then located near Lanark, FL). Responsibilities included driving buses or vans, operating pontoon boats, supervising students and their chaperones in marine field and laboratory activities, and instructing the students in those settings.As a senior scientist, I served as leader for these same field experiences. In this role I supervised other instructors and was responsible for management and safety of all participants in each field experience. I also worked in this capacity to help run touch tanks at public events with the Sea-to-See program aimed at elementary school-aged children, parents, and other members of the general public.

Taught courses (lab and lecture) working under various faculty members. Responsibilities included developing and teaching laboratory curriculum, designing and supervising laboratory practical examinations, grading exams, preparing and giving selected lectures, driving vans for field trips, supervising undergraduate students in marine field settings, and providing other instructional support as needed.Courses Taught:• Animal Diversity (Lab)• Experimental Biology: Field Marine Ecology (Lab)• Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy (Lab and some Lecture; Lead Lab Instructor)• Advanced Invertebrate Zoology (Lab and some Lecture)• Biological Science I (Lecture)• Human Physiology (Lecture)

Served as a laboratory technician in the lab of Dr. Dan Rittschof at Duke Marine Laboratory -- full-time June - August and part-time August - December. Responsibilities included field testing the anti-fouling properties of marine vehicle paint samples, designing and building equipment for capturing deep-sea marine larvae, and other basic laboratory maintenance and activities.

Employed for the summer through an internship program for college students who were children of employees. Worked in the chemistry lab at the Toledo Refinery. Responsibilities included testing of plant products (including asphalt and jet fuel), testing of plant acids, and maintenance of testing equipment.

Worked part-time during the school year and full-time during summers. Served as a research assistant in the laboratory of Dr. Richard Laddaga. Focus was on developing an improved technique for transforming DNA into gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) as part of a broader program studying heavy metal resistance in bacteria. Responsibilities included carrying out DNA extractions and DNA transformations of bacteria, manipulating plasmid DNA, agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, sterilizing laboratory supplies, washing glassware, maintaining laboratory equipment, preparing posters for research, and writing manuscripts.Schenk, S. & R.A.
