Teaching

​I enjoy teaching a variety of classes, from introductory through graduate level. Ultimately, I believe hands on field and/or lab work is one of the most effective instruction tools and strive to incorporate these experiences whenever possible. I am also incorporating technological assistance into my larger lectures, including clickers, videos, and other useful resources.
