Meet our instructors!

Jason Moeller (He/Him/His)

Hi! My name is Jason, and I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri. I first found my passion for teaching science there, as a summer camp counselor at the St. Louis Zoo. I graduated from Indiana University (go Hoosiers!) in 2009, and stayed an extra year to earn my teaching credential. I worked as the School Programs Coordinator at Zoo Knoxville from 2010 to 2016, where one of my main responsibilities was teaching their homeschool program. After my wife and I moved to Nashville in 2016, I joined Adventure Science Center. I started the homeschool science program here in 2017. The thing I love the most about Adventure Science Center is the wide range of different sciences I get to teach! My favorites are herpetology, sports science, flight, and oceanography. I can’t wait to see where this semester takes us!

SAVANNAH ELROD (SHE/HER/HERS)

Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am originally from Knoxville, Tennessee. I came to Nashville in 2019 for college and liked it so much I decided to stay! I recently graduated from Belmont University with a major in English Literature and a minor in Elementary Education. Throughout my undergraduate experience, I worked at a variety of schools and school types with various grade levels. I love teaching and value informal education, and I'm so excited to get to put my passions into practice at Adventure Science Center! My favorite place in the science center is the planetarium because I am obsessed with space exploration. I am so excited to learn with you!
