Senior Lecturer

My focus in the Department of Plant Biology and Division of Biological Sciences is teaching, and I’m currently an instructor for Principles of Biology I (BIOL 1107). My research is in biology education, where the goal is to collect and analyze data for the purpose of improving student learning. My interests include student use of procedural knowledge, student understanding of phylogenetic trees, and the effects of peer learning assistants in classrooms.

Undergraduate Research in Biology

Undergraduates majoring in biology have the opportunity to enhance their learning through direct participation in research and scholarship. At UGA, these opportunities enable undergraduates to participate in ground-breaking research, often as part of a team of graduate students and faculty. In fact, many students can earn academic credit while working under an experienced faculty mentor by taking BIOL 4960R or working directly with the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO). The Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Fellowship (BSURF) has been established to support undergraduate research opportunities in the Division of Biological Sciences within the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. The Fellowship provides financial assistance to students who have not had an opportunity to participate in a mentored research experience (paid, volunteer, or for credit) since matriculating to the University of Georgia.
