  I teach an upper division majors evolution course, including both lecture and lab (the last core course in our curriculum); a senior capstone course in animal behavior; and honors genetics. In addition, I teach the evolution, ecology and biodiversity course in the introductory sequence in addition to coordinating multiple instructors and developing and overseeing the curriculum for both lecture and lab. I serve on the Institutional Animal Care and Usage Committee, the advisory boards for the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Digital Innovation labs. I am part of a NEASC re-accreditation subcommittee. My research program involves 15 or more students a semester and investigates the evolution of social behavior using quantitative genetics, molecular genetics, physiology and anatomy techniques.

  I taught Biology for Elementary Educators, including designing the lab curriculum, Evolution, Honors Evolution, and Entomology. My PhD investigated the influences of indirect genetic effects (the genetic component of the social environment) on cooperative antipredator behavior in guppies.
