TEACHING


I am currently an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, a primarily undergraduate institution. I teach classes in our biology "core", focusing on plant form & function as well as ecology & evolution and research inquiry, as well as upper-level courses in Evolution and Plant Systematics! I also lead independent study courses in research. In the past I have taught and TA-ed graduate-level courses on statistical analysis of long-term ecological data and population genetics as well as undergraduate courses in introductory biology, ecology, current topics in ecology & evolution, and field courses on the Summer Flora!
