A former professor at Columbus State University and Columbus Technical College within the Earth and Space Sciences and General Studies Departments for 2017 – 2019, has taught over 1200 students of all ages over the past 20+ years and countless others through her Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) educational outreach and advocacy. In her additional time, she provides mentorship, college prep, and tutoring for K-12 and postsecondary students. Because of her passion for protecting people from environmental hazards and providing educational resources, she also developed a business called The Venable’s Education and Training Services (V.E.T.S.), to provide First Aid CPR training. As a life long learner, she  strives to continue her education and data science and programming.

While at Howard, she completed a research fellowship supported by the NOAA Center for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) with the Johns Hopkins University Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering. This enthusiastic interdisciplinary environmental scientist also holds a B.S. in Geology and a M.S. in Environmental Science from Columbus State University.
