Prior to Pellissippi State, she taught high school physics, mathematics and chemistry and worked in the science museum/informal science education field for nine years at the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. When she wasn’t making her hair stand on end with a Van de Graaf generator, she was writing exhibits, creating educational programs and developing special events like the Science Fiction Movie Festival and the Bubble Festival. She also lead the museum into the information age by procuring their domain name, designing and installing their network, email server, web server and first web pages. From 1998-2004, she wrote and performed science experiment interstitial segments with “Joe Cool” on WBXX, Channel 20 in Knoxville, TN.
She also has been a radio DJ for WVKS in Sweetwater, Tennessee as well as college radio during her undergraduate days at Tennessee Technological University.
She is currently trying to up her game with understanding virtualization, CSS, HTML 5, and mobile app development. For those non-technical moments, she enjoys travel, geocaching, bowling (silver medalist in the state senior olympics in 2017!) and replicating the strawberry-spinach salad from her favorite local restaurant.
