Assistant Professor
University of Louisville, 2008
After graduating with a Ph.D. from UofL in 2008, I relocated to Orlando, Florida and began my professional career teaching undergraduate Science courses. This invaluable learning experience led to my return to the Department of Physiology and Biophysics in 2011, with a primary emphasis on teaching. I am currently working in the department to develop course materials, revise the curriculum, and establish and assess new teaching techniques.
My educational research is primarily focused on the integration of active learning into the classroom, and the impact of these methods on student performance and motivation. My goal is to gain further insight into the effectiveness of traditional, didactic lectures vs. alternative teaching strategies for the modern student.
