K – 12 education. I have been the PI on several grants training math and science teachers in the Tulsa area and around the state. I am the founder and coordinator of a very successful physics education outreach effort to the Tulsa area entitled the TU Physics Journal Club. I regularly do physics shows for a variety of audiences in northeastern Oklahoma, from elementary schools to high schools and beyond. I also provide professional development seminars for local school districts.
