My background is in biology and chemistry. I taught chemistry at the high school and college level for 9 years. I graduated from the Weizmann Institute of Science with a Ph.D. in science education. After my graduation, I was accepted to a position as a Post-Doc at CREATE for STEM an educational research institute within Michigan State University, under the advisement of Prof. Joe Krajcik. During the post-doc I was conducting research evaluating the various impacts computation systems dynamic models have on students' sense-making of scientific phenomena. After the post-doc, I started a position as an assistant professor at the University of Wyoming.
