ABOUT TAYLOR SHIMEK
Physics and math educator with experience teaching high school physics, developing full project-based curricula, and supporting students across diverse learning environments, complemented by a strong background in engineering, data analysis, and technical problem-solving.I taught high school physics during the 2020–2021 academic year, where I designed and delivered the entire curriculum using a project-based, inquiry-driven approach aligned to state standards. My teaching emphasizes conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and real-world applications, helping students connect mathematical and physical principles to practical systems.I hold a Master’s degree in Physics and bring deep strengths in mathematics, data analysis, and technical communication. In addition to classroom teaching, I have experience creating instructional materials, assessments, and technical content, and I enjoy translating complex STEM concepts into clear, engaging explanations for diverse audiences.I am currently seeking:• Part-time or online physics and math teaching roles • Adjunct or remote high school or college instruction • Curriculum development and assessment writing • STEM education and content creation roles Previously, I worked as a module engineer at Intel Corporation, where I spent over three years improving advanced manufacturing processes through data-driven analysis and cross-functional collaboration. My work focused on optimizing equipment performance, improving machine availability, and reducing operational costs through systematic performance tracking and process improvements.This engineering experience informs my teaching and content development, grounding abstract physics and math concepts in real-world industrial applications. Passionate about sustainability and education, I am interested in roles that combine technical rigor, clear communication, and meaningful impact.
