In the Classroom

I am enthusiastic about interactive and research-based learning methods and strategies for building inclusive classrooms. I’m particularly excited about getting students out in the field and using quantitative methods to process data in the classroom.

My classes at ODU include:

  • OEAS 344W: Geomorphology
  • OES 220T: Introduction to Meteorology
  • OES 706/806: Climate Variability & Diagnostics

We love doing K-12 outreach both through lecturing at local elementary schools and participating in community outreach events (Earth Day!!).
