My priorities as an educator include innovative undergraduate classroom teaching, productive undergraduate research mentorship, and developing ways in which research and teaching can inform each other. My approach is informed by the learner-centered approach to teaching, and focuses on carefully designing learning environments in which students have the means, motive and opportunity to learn. I have had the opportunity to implement and refine this approach a wide variety of educational roles and settings.
