Educational Research In Radio Astronomy (ERIRA) For the past 13 years, I have been co-coordinator in a weeklong research experience at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Green Bank, West Virginia. I take two/four high school students during the month of August to the Observatory to interact and perform astronomical research with university students from around the country. I have also designed several research projects that are now incorporated into each institute.

Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, Space Explores For the past seven years, I have volunteered in developing learning activities at summer and winter programs run by the University of Chicago and the Center for Cosmological Physics. This program specifically brings approximately thirty underprivileged, high school age students to Yerkes Observatory (Williams Bay, WI) for weeklong science education programs. I serve as a laboratory instructor for both of these summer and winter institutes in which I also make contact with the parents of these students.
