Inquiry Based Biology 1: Common Ancestry and Speciation

I have been working in science-based museums doing curriculum, programming, and education for students in a variety of settings for over fourteen years. I have been providing online science education for the past five years during which I have taken advantage of many professional development opportunities to learn about inquiry-based science education and teaching science online. I have completed a masters in museum education with a focus on science education at the University of Washington and was the first undergraduate student to ever be accepted to Vanderbilt University’s LEND program which includes a focus on genetics. 
I worked at the Creative Discovery Museum on a pilot program which involved biological science and dissections for home educated students. I helped college level students with a variety of backgrounds and support needs obtain content mastery. I led programming on a variety of inclusive science based summer camps including those partnering with the local zoo and aquarium.
During my graduate degree, I worked on projects with the Seattle Aquarium and Burke Museum on science education concepts. I collaborated on the design of virtual field trips which supported concept standards in earth and life sciences and applied science through museum evaluation.. Last year, many of my students achieved above the 90th percentile on nationally standardized tests.
At East Tennessee State University I completed the following courses receiving near-perfect grades and 
Integrated Stem for Education Majors, which I applied to the development and teaching of this course through the inclusion of math, technology and engineering principles and which prepares me well to teach them.
Concepts in Biology this course was designed for those wishing to teach Biology l and included teaching demonstrations, standards, and preparation for the Praxis exam for science concepts on which I scored in the 96th percentile.
Life in the Universe this course was an exploration of life science using an inquiry based model and which inspired my adaptation for this course. It covered a variety of life-science topics. Based on my performance in this course, I was nominated for nationally competitive research internships.
Science Education: Wildife Conservation: As part of a science education track, I took an honor’s section of this senior course focusing on wildlife conservation which included a variety of life science skills and strategies. I am a project Wild certified educator.
