Alissa Dreon

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.
