I have been working at Civil Air Patrol (CAP) headquarters since 2015 as a program manager for the Aerospace Connections in Education (ACE) Program and STEM Kit Program. Before joining the staff at CAP, I taught 5th grade Math and Science in Alabama for 29+ years incorporating STEM and CAP activities and materials into my classroom.
