It is hard to study animal learning and not gain a deep appreciation for our own species' exceptional learning and teaching abilities. Teaching provides constant opportunities to better understand the process of learning and my own teaching strategies continually evolve as we discover more about how people learn. At Western, I teach a variety of courses throughout the Biology curriculum. In my courses, I strive to inspire curiosity about nature, develop critical thinking skills, and promote life-long learning in my students by creating a student-centered, engaging, and inclusive learning environment.
