Mulkerrin is active with a number of national science and informal education associations, including the AZA, the National Science Olympiad, and the Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC).
"My whole career has been focused on advocating for science education. I am excited to have this opportunity to work with NSTA in advocating and communicating the importance of science in our country. It is the perfect time for all science educators to use their voice to make science education a priority in all states," said Mulkerrin.
In Nebraska, Mulkerrin works with districts on curriculum development and strategic planning. She has served in leadership roles for the Nebraska Junior Academy of Science; the Nebraska State Science Olympiad Board; the Nebraska Next Generation Science Standards Review Committee; the Nebraska Association of Teachers of Science; the Department of Education Math Science Partnership Board; and the Nebraska Building a Presence for Science/Science Matters Advisory Board. Mulkerrin has also published works on a myriad of topics, including STEM careers, job shadowing, professional learning, and collaborative initiatives between informal and formal education.
