Comparative/International Physics Education

My interest in education expands beyond the high school classroom, into pre-service education and in-service teacher professional development. I desire to expand my impact on physics education through collaboration with teachers outside of my school and across borders.

I have had a variety of experiences with education in France and Mexico.
