I taught two lab sections of BIOL 308: Foundations of Ecology and Evolution at George Mason University for 3 semesters. My class covered topics including population ecology, statistics for ecologists, agent based modeling, human evolution, taxonomy, diversity metrics, trophic interactions, and more! The course was also the writing-intensive requirement for biology majors, so I worked closely with students to develop their technical writing skills through iterative feedback and revision processes. I strive to create an inclusive and collaborative classroom environment where students can feel free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn from one another without fear of judgement.
In addition to teaching this class, I also led the development of the syllabus and materials used in the course, including but not limited to labs, in-class activities, writing assignments, lecture slides, and informational handouts.
As an undergraduate at Rice University, I was a TA for the EBIO 213: Introductory Experimental Methods in Ecology and Evolution lab (3 semesters) and a discussion leader for BIOL 201: Introductory Biology (1 semester).
