About Ms. Klein

As the communications assistant at The Hastings Center, a  bioethics research institution, I wrote about the Center's work on addressing ethical quandaries, including disability ethics. 

I pivoted to classroom teaching, where I became a middle school science teacher at Buckingham Browne and Nichols School, an independent school in the Boston area. I focused on teaching the principles of chemistry and physics, and I ran the school's science club, which included designing assistive technologies.

Over one summer, I worked as a teacher/advisor for the BeaverWorks Designing for Assistive Technology course, which brought together talented high schoolers embarking on their own assistive technolog projects in their communities.

In one iteration of science club, I partnered with the Perkins Library to have students think about redesigning the labels for audiobooks.

As a participant in the Research Experience for Teachers program, I partnered with the Friedman Place, a living community for adults who are blind or visually impaired, and Ashley Neybert, a chemist and educator who is blind,in adapting a science workshop to be accessible.

This year, I'm embarking on graduate school to explore Learning Design, Innovation and Technology. I'm excited for what comes next!
