Experience
Instructor of Chemistry and Smate
Feb 2023 — Present · Bellingham, WA, US
Led instruction in organic and inorganic chemistry as well as science methods for future elementary educators, consistently designing learning experiences rooted in cognitive science and user empathy. As lead evaluator on a multi-year NSF-funded K–6 science equity project, applied a mixed methods research lens to improve system efficiency, clarify stakeholder goals, and ensure actionable insights. Independently conduct and publish research on organic chemistry education, focusing on how misconceptions and self-efficacy affect student learning—applying evidence-driven iteration to optimize foundational knowledge delivery. Developed scalable frameworks for research and teaching that center user experience across both higher ed and K–12 learning ecosystems.
