Teaching

As a graduate student, I’ve developed and led graduate level courses that are aimed at improving graduate student skills in the Biology Department at the University of New Mexico (marked by a *). These two courses are aimed at grass-roots teaching by and for graduate students. As an undergraduate and graduate teaching assistant, I have taught several organismal biology courses at UNM and the University of Idaho.
