About Me

I worked for many years as a biologist and neuroscientist before deciding to teach biology.  I have deep appreciation for how science helps us make sense of the world and make a difference in people’s lives.  With this in mind, I’m dedicated to supporting each and every student to succeed in my class and beyond.

What Students Will Learn

I think of science and biology as more than facts and figures---they are ways to understand nature, medicine, and how to approach and solve real-world problems.  I plan on having many labs and projects throughout the year for students to engineer solutions and explore how biology relates to the world around us.
