Research Interests
Graduate teaching assistant professional development, culturally responsive pedagogy, biology education
My education research is focused on implementing and evaluating culturally responsive pedagogy in biology courses. I am also interested in how faculty and graduate teaching assistants approach diversity, equity, and inclusion in the science classroom.
Current Research Projects:
- Evaluate how faculty and universities support undergraduate students who are involved in faculty-mentored research.
- Determine efficacy of graduate teaching assistant professional development programs.
