Pedagogy

Public outreach and education 

have long been a foundational part of my research. I have had the opportunity to interact with people from diverse backgrounds through both paid and volunteer positions.

A short-list of programs have included:

• Elementary Science Fairs (Port Aransas, Texas)

• Fishing Tournaments (Port Aransas, Texas)

• Science Educator at Summer Science - Marine Science Youth Camp (Port Aransas, Texas)

• Guest Lecturer Positions in Fish Physiology at The University of Texas (Port Aransas, Texas)

• Environmental Educator on the R/V Katy at The University of Texas (Port Aransas, Texas)

• AmeriCorps Volunteer for CityYear at Capitol Middle School (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

To further develop my skills in both outreach and education, I have taken courses through The University of Texas – Texas Institute for Discovery Education in Science. This program provides foundational skills in pedagogy, teaching, and mentorship.
