Bio

I am excited to join BioSci as an Associate Teaching Professor in Microbiology in August 2023! I earned my PhD in Immunology and Infectious Disease from SUNY Albany and have been involved with undergraduate education since 2007. I am a passionate educator and scientist who strives to create a dynamic, engaging environment for everyone to learn in. My research interests include bacterial pathogenesis (especially pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis), effects of infectious disease on history and society, and the role of case studies and course-based undergraduate research experiences on student learning.
