Professional Experience

1999-2001 Special Projects Coordinator, Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC), The Ohio State University (OSU).
Coordinated ENC's Classroom Calendar, an online feature that offers K-12 classroom teachers ideas for developing thematic, integrated lesson plans based on current and historical events in mathematics and science history. Also evaluated Web sites for ENC's monthly Digital Dozen Award, coordinated team efforts toward meeting publication schedules, and wrote articles for ENC publications.
1996-1999 Senior Science Education Abstractor, Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC), The Ohio State University (OSU).
Selected and reviewed K-12 science curriculum materials for a national repository. Supervised graduate students and edited abstracts for content. Other responsibilities included developing Web-based curriculum for ENC's Content Calendar (expected launch date Summer, 1999), writing for ENC publications, and conducting teacher workshops in educational technology as well as presenting at national conferences.
1993-present Adjunct Instructor, Department of Biological & Physical Sciences, Columbus State Community College (CSCC).
Teach a variety of biology courses, including the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology courses for nurses and other health care professionals. Other courses include general biology, human biology, and genetics. Developed departmental test bank for pathophysiology courses and Web-based assignments for classroom use. Conduct classroom research projects in alternative assessment and writing to learn science. Served as test administrator for an ongoing project to assess the Natural Science program.
1992-1995 Research Associate, Department of Pathology, The Ohio State University (OSU).
Designed and conducted research in cancer genetics. Conducted cytotoxicity assays of natural products against a panel of cultured cancer cells. Supervised graduate and undergraduate students. Directed high school science fair projects. Served as laboratory safety officer.
1989-1992 Graduate Research Associate, Departments of Pathology and Surgery, The Ohio State University (OSU).
Took courses and conducted dissertation research toward doctorate in cell and molecular pathology. Research included recombinant DNA technology, transfection methods, and gene expression as well as developing human cell and tissue culture model systems.
1984-1989 Research Assistant, Comprehensive Cancer Center and Department of Pathology joint appointment.
Assisted with a variety of research projects requiring cultured human cells. Developed an inexpensive image analysis and time-lapse videomicroscopy system. Prepared laboratory training manual.
1983-1984 Biologist, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland.
Assisted with research in cancer genetics during summer internships. Techniques included immunohistochemistry, Western blots, and DNA sequencing.
