We did a hybrid course on Motivational Interviewing. It had both an asynchronous part to introduce key concepts and a live online class component for participants to build skills. I think the combination of those two modalities brought out the strengths of each and created a good experience for learners.
I started growing in my role when I began editing and later managing CAPTC's websites. In my current role I'm able to combine my background in education with using technology to reach a wider audience.
I enjoy that in my role I get to learn about different programs and projects. My coworkers at CAPTC are so knowledgeable and passionate about sexual and public health that it is always inspiring to learn about their projects and goals. Finding the right medium and building a product that communicates our mission for a given project is satisfying.
As part of my marine biology program at UC Santa Cruz I got to dive in the kelp forest tank at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (as well as other kelp forests around the Monterey Bay, of course). This was a big deal for me because I’ve loved marine life and kelp forests since I was a kid.
I always like a hike or swim somewhere along the California coast. I enjoy singing with QCSF and sometimes going to a contra dance. For inside time I like a good sci fi/fantasy book or show.
Hypothetically - lots of languages and how to come up with fun harmonies for songs on the spot. Currently - I'm working on learning more about data analytics.
