About Me:

I am an associate teaching professor of biology. I teach and coordinate two large introductory biology courses, working closely with laboratory teaching assistants and lecture learning assistants.

How can we engage our students in the classroom?

I believe students learn best when they are curious and making connections. My goal is to help students think critically, strengthen their learning skills, and feel confident tackling challenging biological concepts. Learning assistants are a tremendous asset to the classroom and have helped me move closer to achieving my teaching goals.

Ask me about: Utilizing learning assistants; teaching and learning in large biology courses; scientific engagement; student mentorship; building community; diversity and inclusion in STEM

Fun fact about me:

I love hiking, canoeing, traveling to national parks, and making pottery with my partner, Matt.
