People

I am an educator and an advocate for public-involvement and community science, working at the intersection of people, nature, climate, and science. I am the PI on the MacroBlitz project, leading a team of National Geographic explorers to empower educators from the Canadian forests to Chilean Patagonia to teach how to survey aquatic macroinvertebrates using iNaturalist as a data platform. My scope of work includes professional and curriculum development on water, soil, and grasslands. I facilitate and advocate for braiding Indigenous ways of knowing and Western STEM in my work.

Geometry Arrow features six exciting levels, each with its own set of challenges. The obstacles are strategically placed to push your reflexes to the limit. As you progress, you’ll master the tricky spike formations, moving platforms, and tight passages!

The Misale’s love helping the community within Marquette County. With a vision of how they wanted early childhood care and education to feel for both children and their families, the pair decided to open Discovery Central shortly after getting married. The school was founded in Downtown Marquette with its first school year in September of 2010. In 2023, DC moved to its new home at 1010 Silver Creek Rd. Jeremy and Sarah love cultivating relationships with all children enrolled, overseeing maintenance, and keeping up on admissions and admin tasks so that the teaching team can focus on the kiddos, first and foremost.
