Bio
Ph. D., University of New Hampshire M.S., University of West Virginia B.S., Pennsylvania State University
My research integrates field mapping, core logging, and petrologic and geochemical analysis of terrestrial and marine sediments and rocks to reconstruct Earth's history.
My teaching philosophy is student-centric. Student learning outcomes in the geosciences are firmly rooted in experiential learning. To this end, I prefer to blend lecture content with in-class activities to learn fundamentals and develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. Field experiences are a critical component that reinforces these fundamental skills and concepts and drives student engagement and learning.
