I feel fortunate to have one of the best jobs in the world: teaching students at Foothill College. I have taught biology for non-majors and majors, as well as human biology, and I am currently the co-coordinator for our human anatomy and physiology classes (Bio 40 series). I also co-direct a National Institutes of Health funded project titled The Scientist Spotlights Initiative and a National Science Foundation funded project titled CC Bio INSITES.

Alongside my teaching and college service, I am active in biology education research (BER), including studying equity and inclusion in science classrooms, advocating for increased representation of community colleges in BER, assisting faculty in reflecting on their classroom practices, and serving as co-Editor-In-Chief of the journal, Life Sciences Education. As a result, I frequently have the privilege of facilitating workshops on inclusion, assessment, and active learning for audiences ranging from community college instructors to faculty and postdocs at large research universities.
