Research Overview

I am broadly interested in anatomy and physiology education that forms a foundational component of a student’s liberal arts education and prepares them to thrive and adapt in whatever situations the future may hold for them. The lecture courses mix seminal content knowledge with underlying principles and problem-solving to facilitate future learning in the field, adjacent provinces, or novel areas of study. The laboratory components stress the importance of, and allow students to improve proficiency in, three-dimensional observational study and utilization of the scientific method.

I explore, collaborate, and implement strategies to maximize the realization of these goals and ensure that opportunity is equally available to all students. To that end, currently my interests are centered around open educational resources, no-cost course materials, and evidence-based pedagogical approaches that facilitate active learning and student engagement.

Courses Taught: BIO204 Principles of Human Physiology (Fall and Summer* Semesters), BIO204P Principles of Human Physiology Lab (Fall and Summer* Semesters), BIO217 Principles of Human Anatomy (Spring Semesters). *Summer session courses are subject to minimum enrollment requirements
