Teaching at Kenyon College
I am deeply committed to teaching and mentoring students and I continue to seek opportunities to strengthen and diversify my skills as an educator. My goals as a teacher and mentor are to foster critical thinking, to inspire and capture the interest of students through my own enthusiasm for science, and to teach science as a creative process. There is no better way to teach science than through actually doing science, and this includes both mentoring students in independent research as well as designing and implementing relevant and exciting laboratory exercises to complement science courses.
The courses I currently offer at Kenyon:
BIOL 261: Animal Behavior (Every fall semester)
BIOL 262: Experimental Animal Behavior (Every fall semester)
BIOL 109: Introduction to Experimental Biology (Fall 2020, Fall 2025)

ENVS 112: Introduction to Environmental Studies (Spring 2020)
ENVS 342: Disease Ecology (Spring 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025. Generally, every other spring)
