Introduction: My motivational speaking service is unique in that unlike traditional approaches - I take an approach focused on "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I am a Tenured Associate Professor with professional experience in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education, Preparation and Career Exploration. I have conducted over 50+ national presentations and I have over 15 + journal articles and book chapters focused on increasing the representation of students in STEM. I also have several edited books designed to educate children, students, faculty and staff on STEM. I recently published a children's book entitled "Teele and Guba's Exciting Escapades Through STEM." This book was listed as Amazon's #1 New Release and is on track to be a Best Seller! This book is the first in a series of books dedicated to introducing children of all ages to the exciting world of STEM. My services are designed for children, students, faculty and staff.
I enjoy working with children, students, faculty and staff. My ability to reach individuals in multiple settings - including schools, youth groups, community service groups, etc. - are exceptional! My passion is to share my knowledge and increase interest in others by assisting them in realizing their true potential. Additionally, I enjoy working with faculty and staff in efforts to foster independence and curiosity among children/students while educating faculty and staff on ways to work with children/students toward STEM.
