My graduate and undergraduate teaching in physical geography, environmental change, and biology have brought me from the large lecture hall to Western Active Learning Space, to field courses in Ontario and northern Sweden. I work to foster student interests and introduce them to tools to rediscover their world from a natural sciences perspective. To learn about my teaching approach and experience, feel free to explore my Teaching Dossier.
