Courses Taught
Marine Invertebrate Zoology (Summer Teaching Professor), 2023 at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Labs
Invertebrate zoology with an emphasis on marine systems; phylogeny, taxonomy, physiology, behavior, scientific illustration, and more! "A 6 week rampage through 32 phyla, and then a very long nap."
Microbiology and Man (Instructor of Record), 2017-2021 at the University of Alabama
Microbiology for non-majors, predominantly nursing majors. Course spans basic microscopy to advanced staining techniques and rapid assays to prep our students for future medical classes.
Introduction to Biology for Non-majors (Laboratory Instructor), 2020 at the University of Alabama
Biology laboratory for non-majors, focused on introducing students to quantitative lab techniques and critical evaluation of information. Course touches on chemistry, anatomy, behavior, and societal issues relevant to science.
Introduction to Marine Biology for Non-majors (Laboratory Instructor), 2016 at the University of West Florida
Class introduces students to marine life and the adaptations necessary for life in the ocean.
Introductory Biology Laboratory (Laboratory Instructor), 2014-2016 at the University of West Florida
*Co-authored a new, entirely in-house lab manual that is still in use in 2021
Course introduces students to quantitative lab practices,
