Current Research

Quantifying antibiotic resistance genes in the flora of swine and cattle.

Background Highlights

The focus of my teaching is introductory courses for non-science majors. I enjoy designing courses that engage students in scientific concepts while learning about subjects that interest them. From calculating the distance a blood drop travels in a forensic science class to investigating the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in ground beef purchased from local grocery stores in a microbiology course, these investigations explore scientific concepts in an accessible – and fun! - way.
