Research and Teaching
I teach several core and upper division elective courses for undergraduate and graduate students in our program.
In all of the courses that I am a part of I strive to create a constructive, inclusive environment for each unique learning community. I believe in an active approach to teaching that integrates research and transferable skills into each module.
We routinely collect and analyze samples as a part of class, using geochemical instruments on campus. Interested? Read more information about our Geobiology class here, featured on the cover of Earth Magazine, article begins on p. 28. And check out one of the group research papers where students collected, analyzed, and interpreted their own data as a part of our Geochemistry class.

- EES 2110 Earth History – with lab
