Research Interests

I advise students pursing Biology, Zoology, and General Studies-Biological 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 (various BIOL classes) more information can be found on the Canvas webpage for the class.

I am interested in using technology to improve undergraduate classes.
