I was a graduate teaching assistant at the University of Kansas for three years. I have taught courses in cellular and molecular biology, and human anatomy. I am comfortable and prepared to teach a broad range of courses, including but not limited to, molecular evolution, molecular systematics, phylogenetics, ichthyology, evolution, comparative vertebrate anatomy, and human anatomy. I am very interested in teaching courses that can incorporate a laboratory or field component.   I could also effectively teach additional courses if needed, such as genetics, biogeography, ecology, introductory biology, zoology, and scientific illustration.  I am interested in developing seminars that would focus on discussing classic and modern primary literature, with topics including systematic theory, ichthyology, molecular systematics, character evolution, and quantitative morphological methods

One of the two laboratories in gross anatomy designed to complement KU BIOL 240. Emphasizes the three-dimensional appearance and spatial relationships of anatomical structures through supervised observations of pre-dissected human cadavers. Limited to students enrolled in, or seeking admission to, programs that require a human anatomy observation laboratory. Concurrent or prior enrollment in BIOL 240 is required.

An integrated lecture and laboratory course for biology majors and students planning to take additional courses in biology. This course covers basic biochemistry, cell structure and function, molecular biology, genetics, physiology, and development of plants and animals. Two hours of laboratory per week.
