PHONE NUMBER AVAILABLE PHONE NUMBER AVAILABLEProfessional SummaryThis Spring and Summer, I have been designing and assessment and evaluation for online courses. This work is so necessary because teachers, instructors, and professors are required to honestly and adequately assess and evaluate students' work. Presently Senior Research Investigator in the Department of Physics 2017 to the present The primary research area is the use of Helium generated cold Plasma on seed germination and the apical meristem areas of the root, lateral meristem bud on the stem, and the leaves. The work has expanded to treating plants of biological medicinal families of plants as well as for the food supply.This area of research is the future of the understanding of natural plasma energy and how we can use it for the betterment of society but also the care of the Earth, "Laudato Si." Professor of Evolutionary Biology( Embryology and Histology, Environmental and Ecological Sciences(systems), Biological Life Sciences including( Human Mammalian Genetics, Anatomy, and Physiology, and Pathophysiology, Conservation of Water, Botany(Alternative Agriculture, Plants and Plasma treated Plants) General Chemistry I and II and Biochemistry, Biopathways. (Educational Research), Educational Leadership, Online Instructional Educational Designer, Curriculum and Assessment Writer, Science background has been continuous learning and using educational strategies to improve and Design Strategies for the incorporation of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Academic designer and academic advisor Giant Leap Educational Programs for High school and Freshman College students.Presently research focus on the use of nonthermal application of atmospheric Plasma on crops germination, growth, and development and ancient biofeedback pathways. I am developing DNA and RNA procedures to determine if there are any genomic changes due to Plasma and a treatment schedule for plants.Active Research with Plasma treated Plant studying germination and development rates. At this time, we have experimented with Red Kidney Beans and Sweet Basil with significantly favorable results. Expertise is not only in soil chemistry but also in using hydroponics and aeroponic alternative growing methods successfully. The plasma-treated plants appear to respond positively to growth factors, most probably their primary growth hormone regulator, Auxin. Three Scientific Publications are being prepared for submission. 2Educational Leadership focuses on developing and supporting new online projects. Highly collaborative and creative educator experienced in delivery in both traditional and virtual instructional methods. Strong belief in cultivating and mentoring, expertise skills using digital learning strategies as a useful educational tool for undergraduate and graduate students, research skills, science writing, coordinating the development, and well-executed online and blended science education courses for HS teachers. I am the recording secretary of the STEM /STEAM committee that voices concerns about the advancement of women Scientist in the primary science fields of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics Giant Leap Educational Advisor 2017 presentExpanded the topics to be taught in summer that will Enhance, Enrich, Empower (E3) Summer enrichment program Giant Leap Includes focus on students to be innovated and self-directed in their learning process. Learning is a lifelong adventure This year 2020, we will have the opportunity to develop and demonstrate to the higher learning institution the need for more online science courses to relieve the seat placement and overcrowding of classrooms and labs.Recently have expanded on the ideas of a colleague for a summer program known As Giant Leap. Dr. Lopez was the originator of this program, and I am developing the subject matter to fill the learning needs of students and interested adults in areas of Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. This year's summer program has increased by 100% of participants. The last five years only had as many as 9 participants, and many programs did not run. This year's participants demonstrated an increase from 9 students last year to 18 participants, and all six physics and biology courses will run this year compared to only 4 for the previous five years. As an experienced and innovative manager of project-based learning in science education, i.e., water quality, Evolution, health, medical anatomy, and physiology, I have developed a model for teaching successfully online as well as Face to Face. I have guided as a stem research mentor of graduate, doctoral, and fellow adult colleagues.I practice Outstanding communication skills and mathematical understanding in educational and business environments with expertise in online teaching experience.
