“I love that TIES is providing meaningful learning opportunities in STEM to learners around the world. I also value the opportunity to work with experts outside of my own field; as a writer, I have gained an awareness of and appreciation for STEM in a way I likely would not have if not for TIES.”

More About Me

I Bet You Didn’t Know

  • When I’m not working, I enjoy reading, running, practicing yoga, exploring new places, and spending time with my family and friends.

What I Love About My Job

  • I love learning, so I love that TIES is providing meaningful learning opportunities in STEM to learners around the world. I also value the opportunity to work with experts outside of my own field; as a writer, I have gained an awareness of and appreciation for STEM in a way I likely would not have if not for TIES.

A Transforming Moment

  • I created an extensive document of workforce “data snapshots” for use by the STEM Learning Ecosystems. This document included national reports, resources and links, and a suite of statistics that I gathered for each SLE community in the US and Canada. As a remote worker I rarely get to see my work “in action” once it leaves my desk, so I was thrilled to learn that ecosystem leadership benefited greatly from the data I gathered and were building upon it to increase STEM resources for their ecosystem communities.
