"Our small class sizes allow me to know each student by name and get to know them individually."

When did you join the MVC faculty? I joined in Fall 2014.

What degree(s) do you hold, and from where? My bachelor's degree is in Biology and Chemistry from Truman State University. My PhD is in Pharmacological and Physiological Science from Saint Louis University. I also completed two postdoctoral research assistantships at the University of Iowa and Washington University in St. Louis. What is something that people may not know about you? I've enjoyed playing video games for years, most recently Overwatch and Hades. Real-time strategy games have long been my favorite genre, though!

What is a hobby you enjoy outside of teaching? I like running and biking around Marshall most days of the week!

What do you enjoy most about teaching at MVC? I really like the fact that our small class sizes allow me to know each student by name and get to know them individually. It allows me to develop lasting relationships where past students will contact me years later to let me know how they're doing! What do you teach at MVC and what other areas of campus are you involved in? I mostly teach the Anatomy & Physiology sequence, but I get to teach Environmental Science sometimes, too!
