Biology
To me, research and teaching are variations on the same theme: educating students. I view my research with students as an extension of the classroom. More student research means more opportunity to provide a better educational experience.

Assistant Professor
Environmental Science
My hope is to help equip our students to be transformative leaders in the global effort to create a more just and sustainable environmental future. My courses seek to elucidate both human impacts on environmental systems and the impacts of environmental change on society.

Associate Professor

Political Science
The Political Science department gave me a plentitude of opportunities to expand my knowledge within this field. I was able to study politics at Oxford University, immerse myself into Cuban culture and government, research droughts as a McNair scholar, and be a civil servant to minority groups through the Gallegly fellowship.
