I did outreach and engagement in marine science in undergrad but finished with a BA in History; then went on to program manage an NSF funded project in a museum around informal learning and how people learn in museums (social learning/communication)

In that job I was fully in charge of a multi million dollar non-profit budget that was reported to the feds so when it comes to looking at #FWA and their tax returns… let’s just say I have some questions ;)

Then I went on to work 6 years at MIT in another non profit office where I managed a network of large scale science events across North America and liaised with international partners on best practice in event creation and event management.

I also did grant writing and grants oversight (running a grant program where we got a large grant from private funder then did pass through funding to multiple other organisations for activities). I ran multiple national events of my own and did evaluation.
