Tell us what you love about working at GSSM.
I love providing opportunities for students to experience STEM fields who many not be able to get those experiences in their area's.
Please list and describe any personal information you would like to share.
I love working with young students on science activities and teaching my two young kids. I also love downhill skiing (I'm from Minnesota) and springboard diving (My master thesis was about the physics of springboard diving).
What would your students be surprised to learn about you?
I got to know my husband while taking a college travel class entitled "Astronomy in the South Pacific"
