Academic and Professional Experience
Academic Responsibilities
I primarily teach courses in the general, organic and biochemistry sequence for nonscience majors and the general chemistry sequence. Related to this, I coauthor lab manuals and co-coordinate labs for the general, organic and biological chemistry and general chemistry labs. I also teach our first-year seminar and peer-mentored courses, and I am the adviser for the Chemistry Club.
Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ and Scholarly Work
Areas of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½
My scholarly interests lie in chemistry education and exploring topics like how students connect knowledge between macroscopic, microscopic and symbolic representations. I am also heavily involved in our M.S. in chemistry education for science teachers program as I mentor and advise students through the development and presentation of an action research project.
