Teaching and Outreach
TEACHING
I have a strong background in teaching core courses in the Earth Sciences disciplines. I also have strong technical biological skills that are used in different aspects of molecular biology and microbiology, including bioinformatics. I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, awarded by the Educational Fellowship Scheme at the Australian National University.
I have experience teaching practical and field components, including assisting with overnight field trips.
Classes include:
Marine Phytoplankton (MASC 444, graduate and undergraduate level, taught at UNC Chapel Hill)
Marine Biology (MASC 442/BIOL 457, graduate and undergraduate level, taught at UNC Chapel Hill)
Oceanography (MASC 401, graduate and undergraduate level, taught at UNC Chapel Hill)
The Blue Planet (EMSC1006, undergraduate level, taught at ANU)
Marine Biogeochemistry (EMSC3023, undergraduate level, taught at ANU)
Sedimentology & Stratigraphy (EMSC2014, undergraduate level, taught at ANU)
Mentoring:
UNC Summer Geoscience Internship (2021)
UNC MASC395 (Special Research Project) Undergraduate Student Mentor (2020-2021)
