Introduction
Teaching is my passion and the Dougherty Family College appealed to me as being a close community of educators dedicated to helping each student excel in their academic endeavors. The University of St. Thomas’ commitment to interdisciplinary inquiry, academic excellence, and working to advance the common good fit perfectly with my personal convictions.
I enjoy working with undergraduate students who are newly exploring the intricacies of the natural world and its influence on humanity (and vice versa). The first two years of college are a time of discovery, both academically and personally. My background in the physical and social sciences provides me with unique perspectives that help me teach students to see the connections between different fields of study and their role as responsible stewards of the planet and informed engaged citizens.
