his Ph.D. in physics at Texas A&M University and worked as a physics course coordinator for a dual enrollment program, work with high school physics teachers across Texas. His research focuses on physics education in both formal and informal contexts, understanding
the role that outreach programs can play in student development, and recently exploring how to best facilitate equitable group work in introductory labs. In teaching he works to create active learning environments in the classroom and support faculty development
in teaching at the department, college, and university levels. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black;background:white">The transformation from novice to physicist is a complex process that is guided by experiences both in and outside the classroom.
Informal physics programs, often called outreach, can provide a critical context for experiences that promote this transition. In recent years, this interaction has begun to be systematically explored and studies have hinted at positive links between the development
of a student’s physics identity and their facilitation of informal physics outreach programs. During this talk, I will share the frameworks and results from student-focused investigations on the impacts of student facilitation of informal physics programs
on dimensions including physics identity, sense of belonging, and the development of 21st century career skills from surveys and interviews conducted with students from a large, public university. I will also share findings from an analysis on a subset of
this data focusing on experiences of women in physics. Ongoing and future efforts related to this work will also be discussed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
