Greses Pérez-Jöhnk
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2016
Bio
Greses is a Ph.D. student in Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education (CTE) and Learning Sciences and Technology Design (LSTD) at Stanford University. Her main research interests are located at the intersection of science and engineering education, technology, and bilingualism. In addition to her ongoing work at Stanford in the Science in the City Research Team, Greses seeks to understand the teaching and learning of engineering in the K-12th science classroom and the opportunities to create a language-rich environment for multilingual learners in this context. Before coming to Stanford, she was a bilingual educator at Plano ISD, where she served in the Gifted and Talented Advisory District Committee and the Elementary Curriculum Design team. As a science mentor at a local Museum in Texas, Greses supported the development of teachers by facilitating workshops and creating science classroom kits. She holds a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from Santo Domingo Technological Institute, a M.Eng. degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, and a M.Ed. degree in School Leadership from Southern Methodist University. Prior to starting her career in education, Greses was a project manager for engineering programs funded by the EU in the caribbean.
