Welcome to my teaching portfolio where I share my journey in community college education, including my teaching philosophy, video samples, student reflections, my work in the news, and more.

Inspire Curiosity and Empower Students

The intricate world of the living belongs to us all. Biology, the study of life, feeds curiosity about inner-workings of our own astonishingly complex bodies, but also all the way down to the unfathomable realm of the microscopic and all the way up the global scales of climate, disease, and economics. While biological education has been one of my most thrilling life endeavors, it is my work with community college students, themselves, that is most rewarding. My classrooms are filled with motivated and passionate students seeking to invest their talents and time to better our communities and our world. So, while my main objective is to inspire curiosity about the life, my larger purpose is to empower students.
