What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about informal science education and the opportunities it affords communities that have been marginalized and excluded from traditional learning institutions and spaces. I am passionate about learning, growing, questioning, collaborating, and finding positivity in almost every circumstance. I’m passionate about being an advocate and a connector. I love starting new professional relationships and maintaining old ones. I am passionate about the ocean, seahorses, my puppies, and cheese sauce.
