After a whopping 23 years of being a science teacher, science department head, science teacher trainer and a summer training coordinator, Lisa Culberson is now, mostly, retired. However, she still works with STEMscopes during some of her free time.
Lisa started working with STEMscopes as a science teacher trainer and transitioned to being a curriculum writer in October of 2017. As a science curriculum writer, she most enjoys the chance to write about the various products we offer in our program. For example, writing lessons in partnership with our streaming companies, BBC and CNN, and curriculum products that we offer in Australia, Canada, the UK, and across all 50 US states.
Lisa can be found spending time birdwatching, taking nature hikes, and spending time with her five grandchildren, with a sixth grandchild on the way. She’s been happily married for 33 years and has two grown sons. She is also active with her University of Tampa Alumni Association.
Below is a picture of Lisa Culberson wearing her University of Tampa alumni T-shirt! We’re excited to have such a talented and spirited person form part of our curriculum writing team!
