My experience in teaching ranges from being a graduate teaching assistant to instructing undergraduate and graduate courses to mentoring undergraduate student research projects. During my master’s degree training at Arkansas State University, I taught laboratory sections of general biology, zoology, and anatomy and physiology. I also taught general biology laboratory sections during one year of my doctoral training at Miami University. During this time, I was also the instructor of record for a non-majors course in Environmental Biology (lecture and discussion). I was also involved in mentoring seven undergraduate projects while at Miami University, where I helped students develop, implement, analyze, present, and write-up a research project.
As a Visiting Research Scholar at Arkansas State University in 2001-2002, I developed a seminar class in Stream Ecology, which included selected papers covering key topics of stream ecology. In addition to the seminar, I developed an associated stream ecology research laboratory, which exposed students to a variety of field and laboratory research experiences.
During the summer of 2001, I was hired to teach aquatic biology and general biology courses at Arkansas State University as a Temporary Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences. During my first year I taught an upper level/graduate level course in Ichthyology, two sections of General Biology for non-majors, a graduate Aquatic Biology, Aquatic Entomology. For the fall of 2003, I am scheduled to teach Limnology and 2 sections of Biology of Animals.
