In this episode, Fatu and Shekerah are joined by Adrienne Umali, Program Manager of In-Person Programs at The New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS). Adrienne shares with us her amazing journey from bench research to teaching in public schools to developing programs that bring science experiences to students. She manages the After School STEM Mentoring Program (ASMP), which provides unique, hands-on curricula designed with STEM professionals for students, and the Scientist-in-Residence program, for partnering scientists with classroom teachers to create special projects for STEM learning. Adrienne also shares how she has adapted her curriculum and program manager duties for the challenges of learning during the pandemic, moments that have inspired her throughout her career journey, and her advice for exploring new, unexpected opportunities.
