I structure my teaching around activities that provide relevant opportunities for students to utilize their practical scientific knowledge and develop applicable skillsets for jobs that involve collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. This includes interpreting figures and communicating their results through writing. The most fulfilling part about teaching is watching students get excited about patterns in nature while gaining confidence in their ability to conduct and discuss science. ​

 

During my time at K-State, I've had the opportunity to teach five different lab courses, one lecture course, and one study abroad course. These experiences have taught me to develop my teaching philosophy and write hands-on learning assignments.
