In addition to the TAPDP program (see teaching activities), I served as a teaching consultant for graduate TAs who were seeking to improve their teaching. The program also involved three quarters of coursework on pedagogical theory and preparing for an academic career. 2007-2008 Co-graduate Student Representative, Department of Earth System Science, University of California at Irvine. Along with another graduate student, I served as a liaison between graduate students and faculty in my department. Duties included raising graduate student concerns to the department chair and graduate advisor and participating in faculty meetings. I was also in charge of a subcommittee planning a retreat for the graduate students in the department. 2006-2007 Journal Club Chair, Department of Earth System Science, University of California at Irvine. I organized a series of weekly seminars lead by graduate students in the department. In addition, I invited and coordinated one of our department’s invited student speakers. 20112011 2010-
