RESEARCH INTERESTS

I advise students pursing Biology, Zoology, and General Studies-Basic Medical Sciences degrees.

If you would like to meet with me and are not a current advisee send me an email.

If you are in one of the classes I teach (SCI 101, HONS 290, various BIOL classes) more information can be found on the Blackboard webpage for the class.

I am interested in using technology to improve undergraduate classes.
