Program Coordinator

32 years after I began, in the spring of 2009, I retired from teaching in the elementary schools of Crook County, Wyoming because my husband (who also retired) became the math content specialist for the Wyoming State Department of Education. We moved to Laramie, and I began a new career with the Science Posse.

My background in education supports the fellows in meeting the Posse’s dual goals of enhancing science education in the state of Wyoming and developing the Fellows' skills in communicating technical topics to nonscientists and collaborating across scientific disciplines.

I am excited about working with these science students as they inspire the next generation of scientists!
