Being retired, my interests are ways that students learn. I have consulted with other instructors in the department who teach Introductory Biology. I have taught in the University Honors Program since my retirement. In my tenure in the Biology Department, I was the Coordinator for the Freshmen Biology Classes and Laboratories. I also worked with students preparing for careers in professional programs. My academic training was in embryology and teratology.
