Biography

My teaching areas include microbiology, molecular biology, immunology, parasitology, medical microbiology, science writing, and virology. I also have the privilege of teaching the WLU Hilltop Experience course to first-year students in the sciences. While originally active in research and accreditation, my interests have evolved to focus on retention and curriculum. In my personal life, I enjoy home renovation, gardening, reading, theatre, and spending time with my husband and five fun-loving dogs.
