Areas of Interest
I am interested in lifelong learning of science and environmental concepts in a variety of informal settings, including museums, community organizations, and at home. I have a strong interest in exploring the ways that learning in informal settings, such as outdoors and in science centers, augments learning in schools. I enjoy assisting education organizations in building their own capacity to conduct program evaluation.
