  I work as a county-based faculty member for the University of California Cooperative Extension and serve the geographic region of Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito Counties with youth development programming. I work with the statewide diversity workgroup to address increasing youth diversity in programming.My scope of work is focused on developing multidisciplinary and integrated approaches to addressing California’s and the Nation’s decline in youth science performance and achievement. This is accomplished by conducting applied research, education and programs with non formal educators utilizing effective professional development models, curricula, and deliveries, to engage youth in self-directed learning and discovery.I graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point with a BS degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Outdoor Education in 1987, and obtained my MS degree in Outdoor Education in 1991 from Northern Illinois University.
