Teaching

I have a wide variety of teaching experience including lecturing, designing and teaching lab sections, and one-on-one student mentoring. Previous undergraduate students have conducted their own lab experiments, co-authored publications, presented at national research conferences, and participated on research cruises. When teaching or mentoring, I try to use a flexible and varied approach in order to best communicate my passion and knowledge to students.
