My teaching draws on themes from fields including conservation genomics, fisheries management, conservation biology, bioinformatics, and data science. I've taught courses ranging from introductory biology and zoology to fisheries science and fish ecology.
My courses emphasize active learning through authentic research experiences that bring curiosity driven experimentation, the scientific method, and practical skills development into the classroom, exposing a broad audience of students to research.
Foundational to my teaching approach is building personal connections with students, fostering a classroom culture of inclusivity, and developing the next generation of science-literate citizens and subject matter experts. |
