Meet the Staff
Jennifer Fee (formerly Schaus)
BirdSleuth Project Leader
I was hired in 2004 to develop and field test the BirdSleuth
curriculum, so I've been with BirdSleuth since its beginning. I take
pleasure and pride in sharing the BirdSleuth curriculum and citizen
science with teachers, particularly through professional development
workshops. Prior to joining the Lab, I worked at the Missouri Botanical
Garden administering the “Partners for Growing Discovery Units”
curriculum. I'm a graduate from the Biology programs at Truman State
University and Illinois State University (Behavior, Ecology, Evolution,
and Systematics program). I enjoy the outdoors-- especially camping,
biking, and hiking-- and I'm always ready to travel and discover a new
place!
Gabrielle Montanez
BirdSleuth Project Assistant
I joined the Education program in 2008 to assist with BirdSleuth
. While an undergraduate, my studies focused primarily on biological anthropology, working on several human evolution and primatology research projects, and feature writing, serving as a teaching assistant
in freshman writing courses. In the summer of 2007, I interned with the
Research Division of National Geographic magazine, which
cemented my passion for public science education. I graduated from
Ithaca College in 2008 with a dual degree in Anthropology and Writing,
and was inducted to the Sigma Xi national research society in April
2008.
