Manager of Strategic Program Development. I'm a geoscientist and educator dedicated to making Earth science more accessible, engaging, and inclusive—whether that’s through leading field trips, developing short courses, mentoring students, or expanding outreach opportunities with the Geological Society of America. As GSA’s Manager of Strategic Program Development, I oversee a diverse portfolio of programs including student and early career initiatives, section meetings, exhibitor relations, and an expanding geotourism effort that connects people to the planet through place-based learning. With experience in both academia and scientific societies, I thrive at the intersection of education, logistics, and strategic engagement. I’m especially passionate about mentoring, supporting volunteers, and building programs that inspire the next generation of geoscientists. Whether planning a polar expedition, designing a campus rep campaign, or coordinating hands-on learning experiences, I bring creativity, organization, and heart to every project. Let’s connect—especially if you’re curious about field trips, science outreach, career pathways in geoscience, or partnering on impactful educational programs.
