Picture
Currently I am a visiting assistant professor at the WM Keck Science Center, which serves the Claremont Colleges (primarily Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps).  ​I have extensive teaching experience, having been a teaching assistant for four semesters (plus a summer session) at Boston University, two quarters at UCI, and two summers at the Summer Science Program.  I was also a visiting lecturer at Santa Ana College in Santa Ana, CA, where I taught an introductory class called Introduction to the Solar System.  I have experience teaching all levels of undergraduate students, as well as advanced high school students.  My physics background means that I am well equipped to teach both physics and astronomy classes.  I strive to create an equitable and inclusive classroom.
