She is a member of the National Science Teaching Association, and is currently working with the Oregon Science Project in successfully integrating (with her dynamic science team) the Next Generation Science Standards into our SHS curriculum.
In her free time, Kristen enjoys attending OSU football games. She loves gardening and cooking up what the garden offers up! Travel is a passion for Kristen, as experiencing world culture and cuisine is a high priority. Kristen enjoys reading and tries to have a "smart" book (science or historical) and "dumb" book (beach read) going at all times ; ) She shares her adventures with her husband of 20 years, their two children (ages 12 and 16), 10 chickens, and a fat, lazy farm cat.
