New Job!

Life is a bit crazy right now. I just started another job ... yes, I am now going to school full-time and working two part-time jobs!! It is going to be a very busy spring.

The magnificent entrance to Phipps

I am thrilled to be the new Science Education Intern at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden. I feel so so so lucky to have the opportunity to be working at such an incredible non-profit organization that truly has sustainability as a top priority. My department just moved into one of the greenest buildings in the world. I wish I had a picture of the building I work in, but you will just have to check out the news article and video!

To top it all off, I get to work with the Science Education Department helping to develop and teach school field trip programs and seasonal science camps. I am working part-time during the school year and full-time during the summer months. It is such a perfect fit for my program. Check out some of our camps coming up this summer. I am currently working on developing the Dancin' with the Plants camps. Seriously, I have the best job(s) ever!

If you would like to follow along with my adventure for the next year (beyond this personal space) you can check out the Science Education Blog. They did very sweet little welcome piece for me this week. I have delightful coworkers and get to work with really fabulous kids. I am really feeling like I have hit my stride in Pittsburgh. Now, I just have to be able to juggle all of my responsibilities through the end of April! Wish me luck...
