EMPLOYMENT

Impact Academy of Arts and Technology

AP Environmental Science Teacher · Aug. 2017 to July 2019 Developed project-based learning curriculum aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to ensure rigorous classroom experiences. Managed labs using instruments to collect and analyze data to increase literacy around meteorology, climate change, and pollution. Engaged stakeholders in communication campaigns to local, state, and national representatives to encourage lawmakers to act in the community's best interest on climate change. Coordinated with community stakeholders. Collaborated with colleagues of different disciplines to create an interdisciplinary project for a wide range of learners at diverse ability levels. Managed and prepared diverse groups of learners for state-wide and national assessments. Managed a team of interns in a wide range of roles and disciplines. Ensured that learners, colleagues, and supervisors with varying levels of scientific fluency understood and were able to engage and integrate with complex concepts. Newark Memorial High School

Chemistry Teacher · Aug. 2016 to June 2017

Brought data-driven, technologically integrated learning experiences into the classroom. Developed and fostered a safe and engaging classroom culture. Maintained engaging science laboratory for over 200 diverse learners to ensure topics could be accessed regardless of ability, background, or initial science literacy. Engaged and supported emerging bilingual scientists. Lead accreditation team focusing on data analysis and student assessment. Acted as technology integration lead for school's largest adaptive student assessment. Ensured that learners, colleagues, and supervisors with varying levels of scientific fluency understood and were able to engage and integrate with complex concepts. San Jose State University

Research Assistant · June 2013 to Aug. 2016 · San Jose, Ca Analyzed lightning data to identify regions of high threat and investigate possible causes. Developed NCL programs to organize and analyze historical lightning data. Developed Linux/Unix and GEMPAK scripts to produce imagery of web-accessible, up-to-the-minute lightning vector data. Introduced climatology study using decades of lightning strike data to identify areas of high lightning strike risk in California. Designed and developed publicly accessible, realtime lightning strike tracker for the entire continental United States. San Jose State University

Associate Lecturer · Jan. 2014 to May 2015 · San Jose, CA Taught online courses in Meteorology to a diverse group of learners. Coordinated projects and evaluated progress for 140 students of varying scientific backgrounds. PROGRAMMING: Python (NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib libraries), MATLAB, NCL, Linux/Unix, WRF SOFTWARE: IDV - Weather forecasting, MS Office, QGIS, SQL, ENVI PEOPLE: Collaboration, Coordination, Management, Operations, Learning Design, Communication, Cultural Awareness

SKILLS

PROJECTS

Mountain-Valley Circulations Field Study

Designed experiments, deployed research-grade instruments, performed MATLAB data analysis, wrote executive reports for a field study in Joseph D. Grant Ranch Park. North American Monsoon Field Study

Held twice daily forecast seminars, coordinated with storm chase teams, deployed research-grade instruments, performed MATLAB data analysis for a field study in Arizona. Climate Consultant - Fire Weather

Interfaced with CMIP5 data repositories and developed NCL scripts to examine climate projections of precipitation trends in the northwest US. These projections were used in executive summaries, video presentations, and detailed reports of potential future fire danger.

ACTIVITIES

American Meteorological Society · Member/Presenter Jan. 2015

Presented research on dry lightning prediction in California at 2015 AMS conference in Phoenix, AZ.
