Personal Statement
Instructional Areas: Astronomy, Planetary Science
Once a transfer student herself, Ms. Enevoldsen holds a degree in Astronomy-Geology from Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA, and a Masters in Teaching with a focus on teaching secondary school science from Seattle University. Her educational path also included Running Start right here at South Seattle College to get her calculus courses while attending West Seattle High School full time, and later two years of undergraduate study in Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
When she was an undergraduate she participated in two undergraduate research projects, the first was at MIT: looking for gamma ray bursts in RXTE All-Sky Monitor observations and investigations of interesting cosmic X-ray activity. While working on that project, she discovered a star, now named XTEJ 1837+037. You can't see it, it shines mostly in x-rays. The second undergraduate research project was her thesis work at Whitman College on how fast the lava would have flowed on Mars when Olympus Mons was erupting in the distant past.
Ms. Enevoldsen worked for 17 years in museums and planetariums, mostly at Pacific Science Center. For the 5 years before coming to teach at South she was Pacific Science Center’s planetarium director, transitioning to college teaching (online, hybrid, and face-to-face) at South in 2017. She brings that extensive experience and training to bear on making her classes as innovative, active, and inclusive as possible. To do so she pulls from activities designed for all levels of teaching, as well as current research on best practices in teaching, learning, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
