Brooke Jenkins is passionate about good chemistry teaching. She studied Chemistry Education and Physics teaching at BYU before going to ASU where she earned her Masters in Chemistry. Her research addressed assessment of conceptual understanding in chemistry. She has taught chemistry at the high school, community college and now at the university level. She started using modeling in 2014 at Estrella Mountain Community College and later took her first modeling workshop in 2016. For the last 6 years she has taught at Weber State University in Utah where she gets to mentor students working towards their licensure and has revamped the concurrent enrollment program. This redesign of the concurrent enrollment curriculum has allowed her to incorporate more modeling ideals into the labs and classroom. Summer 2023 Brooke attended the leadership training at ASU to prepare to host a modeling workshop in Utah which has been on her bucket list since moving away from Arizona. She is very excited that this is the year this workshop will become a reality. The opportunity to become more involved with the organization in this formal way is very appealing to Brooke. Her connections to higher education and national conferences could be used to help spread the word about Modeling Instruction. Brooke knows that she has a lot to learn still, but she is willing to do that.
