Stephanie was an amazing contributor to our educational content tagging project here at WebAssign. She was extremely prolific, insightful, responsive, reliable and prompt. Not only that, she was just plain pleasant to work with, a trait that shouldn't be ignored.

Stephanie consistently demonstrates goal oriented and time sensitive action. Her knowledge of chemical education and learning sciences research is vast and she thoughtfully applies her knowledge to both her own empirically rigorous and intellectually interesting work and to other's work when lending a thoughtful ear. I have known and collaborated with Stephanie for over three years and I have witnessed her research interests develop into an exciting research program. Stephanie's commitment to and passion for understanding science learning and fostering equal access to science education positions her to make original and vital contributions to the fields of chemical education and learning sciences.

If you have the opportunity to work with or hire Stephanie Ryan for any K-12 science development, whether curriculum or assessment, you should do so. I was her supervisor at the American Institutes for Research, in the curriculum and assessment groups, where Stephanie quickly established herself as a highly qualified science and math content developer for grades 3-12. Her ability to solve problems, work with clients, maintain quality, and adhere to detailed specifications is superior, and her strong work ethic served as a model for others on the team. Stephanie has extensive content knowledge and excellent writing and editing skills. She is extremely facile in using technology and in developing technically enhanced assessment and other digital resources for standards-driven education. Her passion for kids and education and her commitment to quality bring a welcome energy to any project she tackles.

Stephanie wrote questions for the ACS high school textbook. Her questions were very high quality and she was always punctual. Stephanie's work is very educationally sound and she is very responsive to queries. I highly recommend Stephanie for this type of work and all chemical education work.

Stephanie wrote very succinct scripts for our videos. She produced very high quality work. I highly recommend her for this work.

Stephanie's commitment to excellence emanates from a desire to genuinely connect with and guide others on their journey of discovery and growth. Stephanie's passion for her work is inspirational, she is the consummate professional.

Stephanie made my job, as her manager, easy! She's a rockstar employee. Her strategic thinking and strong writing skills produce high quality work, even during tight deadlines and while juggling multiple projects. Stephanie is quick to learn and picks up on details and nuances very easily. Any task she took on required little follow up from me as it was impeccable. When working directly with clients or committees, Stephanie maintains a delicate balance of being professional yet approachable which yields strong positive relationships. Her time management and prioritization skills are on-point and she never misses a deadline. I highly recommend Stephanie and am proud to be a resource for her.

The way the ASCEND program worked, I did not have direct supervision of the research assistants, but worked close enough to observe their work. I can certainly say that Stephanie is a gem to have on your team. Stephanie has a passion for science that is only matched by her intellect. She is excellent when working with students of all ages.

Stephanie has an amazing combination of skills and experiences that I first saw her begin to develop as a GK-12 Fellow and then nurture as she continued in her studies. She has a deep knowledge of chemistry and how to best facilitate how students learn at many different levels from elementary to post-secondary levels. Combined with her doctoral studies in learning sciences, she is a rare expert in science content knowledge, what we find in current research on teaching and learning, and how to construct and carry out cutting edge research, evaluation and assessment of science learning.
