I am an associate professor in the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) program in the School of Education, where I teach elementary and secondary math and science instruction courses, a course on teaching and learning, a student teaching reflection seminar, and a master's project seminar. I am a memeber of the executive committee for the environmental policy and decision making minor, the chair of the Committee on Diversity, the education committee chair for the W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory, and I serve on the public programs committee for the Museum of Glass. My research interests include environmental education, science education partnerships, and teacher learning.
