Alissa studied Marine Biology at UC Sant Cruz. She is passionate about environmental conservation and the process of scientific discovery.
Constellations allows teachers to participate in hands-on research alongside Scientists. Here teachers play the role of student/researcher and experience productive struggle as a researcher would.
Participating in science alongside scientists helps teachers deepen their knowledge, stay updated on new methods, and bring real-world applications in the classroom. This boosts their confidence, enriches lessons, and inspires students to engage in science more effectively.
Fun fact: Alissa loves paddleboarding and kayaking with her dog Baloo.
