I began my career as a geological engineer in industry, then became a geophysicist in academia. My interests turned to the challenge of making science accessible to broad audiences through science-based games, curriculum, and inquiry. In academia, I developed and evaluated technology-based curriculum, explored effective use of data and visualizations for learning, and fostered scientist-teacher partnerships. At this time, via my company and a non-profit organization, I am promoting Teen Science Café choice learning programs for youth and developing games that promote STEM learning.
