"As a professional research physicist I worked for NASA, NOAA, and the US Naval Research Lab. I played major roles in six major NASA satellite missions, and served as Chief Systems Engineer for NOAA's Satellite division. I have published many papers and have given talks at countless symposia worldwide. But my passion has always been teaching. I've mentored dozens of young scientists and have two decades of experience teaching University physics to non-majors, majors, and graduate students alike. I love teaching as an adjunct professor and tutoring individual students, helping them make sense of their subject and excel in their work!"
