I chose to pursue a teaching/research career at a predominantly undergraduate institution because I believe deeply in the liberal arts model that guides schools like the College of Charleston. In all aspects of my teaching, research, and service I aim to expose undergraduates to the world of research in the biological sciences. I enjoy the close contact with students in the classroom and the laboratory because it invigorates my teaching in the classroom and my research in the lab. I teach a variety of courses in the Department of Biology. Specifically, I have offered sections of First Year Seminar, Introduction to Cell and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology and Neuroscience. Each year, I also supervise several students who are exploring model systems research through an Independent Study or Bachelors Essay.
