“We collaborated on a National Science Foundation Grant that was funded and extremely successful in Florida. I don’t believe we would have had the level of effectiveness and success without her knowledge base and understanding of STEM education and gender equity. Our collaboration was special and inspirational. ILC challenged our team to ensure that all measures we applied were based on sound research and proper evaluation.”
