I truly enjoy teaching students from all backgrounds and experiences, both graduate and undergraduate, about environmental challenges and solutions through engaged scholarship that bridges academia with the surrounding community.  I received formal training in higher education teaching through a wonderful program I participated in during my doctorate degree:  The Cognate in College Teaching through the Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning at the University of New Hampshire. 

 

I constantly reflect on my teaching and stay up to date with the latest research on teaching and learning.  My classes often involve a community based research project as well the opportunity to get out in the field (as pictured above:  L- students in my Decision Making in Natural Resource Management Class visit the Groton Wind Farm to understand the decision process behind large scale energy development.  R- students in Ecological Economics visit the Squam Lakes to learn about how various groups use and value ecosystem services.
