I am extremely passionate about learning and I approach teaching in my courses using an active-learning, student-centered approach. I employ the use of research-validated methods that have been shown not only to be effective tools for learning gains but also to improve the retention of underrepresented groups in the geosciences. I have experience developing and teaching lower and upper-level classroom, lab and field courses. More information on each of these below:
