Mel has over 5 years of experience educating youth about the Puget Sound and its inhabitants in many different settings. She acts as the Education Coordinator at the Puget Sound Estuarium, is a board member for Killer Whale Tales and enjoys whale watching every summer. She completed her bachelor’s degree in Biology (with a marine emphasis) at Western Washington University in 2014. Since then, she has gained increasingly responsible experience in informal science education at multiple zoos, aquariums and children’s museums in Washington State. Her informal science education expertise also stems from completing an “Informal Learning in Museums” Professional Certificate from the Oregon State University. In her free time, Mel enjoys reading, doing crafts, exploring the outdoors, cuddling her cat (Luna), and eating cheesy macaroni.

The Washington Science Teachers Association is an organization dedicated to advocating and promoting quality science education at all levels of instruction.
