2020 2022
Private Physics, Chemistry, Math, and English Tutor with Wyzant Online Learning Portal
2015 - 2018
Academic Advisor, WSC
➢ Advised 8 undergraduate students in pre-engineering
➢ Was part of an effort to create a firmer connection between WSC and the
University of Lincoln (UNL) such that pre-engineering students might have a
smoother transition to transferring credits to UNL for obtaining their degree
2013 - 2014
Programmatic Assessment of Whole Curriculum for Physics Majors, GU
➢ Interviewed 12 alumni from the physics department to ask about their experiences
as an undergraduate, what challenges they faced when they went on to graduate
school or work, and what suggestions they would make to improve the physics
curriculum for majors
➢ Revised and administered senior survey to graduating seniors asking questions
similar to what was asked in alumni interviews
➢ Synthesized results from these data sources to present concrete suggestions for the
department
➢ Collected and organized data on professional development and career trajectory of
alumni
2013 - 2014
ITEL Online Learning Modules, GU
➢ Designed online learning modules to be completed by students on an as-needed
basis (determined by score on a pre-test). Each module covers a specific topic, like
complex numbers, and is to be used in any course that requires students to enter
proficient in the topic.
➢ Coordinated between physics faculty and campus technology experts to determine
the most appropriate online platform (edX, OLI, Blackboard, etc.) for these
modules
2012 - 2013
Curriculum Development for Introductory Mechanics for Pre-med Students, GU
➢ Administered surveys on conceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics (FCI)
and on attitude towards physics and physics learning (MPEX-II). Administered
survey on satisfaction and perception of usefulness of the course and of various
course components. (Fall, 2012)
➢ Collaborated with course professor John Currie to introduce and adapt PER-based
curriculum and pedagogy, such as Peer Instruction and Tutorials for use in the
course fall 2013
➢ Administered FCI and MPEX-II, fall 2013, and compared pre/post course gains to
those of fall 2012. Evaluated efficacy of new curriculum also by looking for
differences in student responses to the satisfaction/ usefulness survey.
