He has a long history of science outreach and education. After getting a B.S. in molecular genetics in 2006, he moved to New York City as part of the NYC Teaching Fellows Program teaching high school science in the South Bronx. During his PhD studies, he served as a NSF Gk-12 fellow building science research curriculum in public schools in NYC. After, as a NSF GRFP fellow he developed award winning curriculum that teaches basic molecular biology skills to underserved students using mobile labs. He went on to run molecular biology workshops for students and scientists in the U.S., Belize, and Indonesia. Before Purchase College, he was a teaching fellow at Columbia University where he taught and developed curriculum for their core science course. He knows how much impact scientists can have on developing students and is excited to bring his expertise to Science-Corps.
