I especially enjoy instructing students in my class as well as student-workers in the Biology Department in laboratory techniques.  I believe hands-on learning is fun and allows students to actually do what they’ve previously only read or heard about.  Laboratory exercises help to cement concepts and allow students to make real-world connections with the microbes and microbiologists we study.

Life off Campus:

Outside Saint Michael's, I enjoy motorcycle rides, reading, beading, nature photography, baking, spending time with her family, going for nature walks, canoeing and kayaking.
