My teaching interests lie in various aspects of organismal and evolutionary biology.\u00a0\u00a0 I like teaching introductory courses because I enjoy introducing students to the wonders of the living world.\u00a0\u00a0 I also find it satisfying to go into greater depth on topics related to my research interests by teaching advanced courses in Mammalogy and Conservation Biology.\u00a0\u00a0 In the labs for several courses, I take students out into the field, where they can experience and learn about the natural world first hand.<\/p>\n
