Citizen Science Program, Bard College: As a 2017 faculty member, I instructed a holistic science literacy course for college freshmen and sophomores using problem-based learning, laboratory, and computing activities (primary case study: infectious diseases).

HEART Program, Johns Hopkins University: During the Fall 2014 and 2015 semesters, I designed, proposed, and taught a seminar as part of a school-wide initiative to introduce college freshmen to engineering research. My course, titled “Visualizing Biomolecules”, focused on current microscopy techniques and applications in bioengineering research.
Teaching Assistant, Johns Hopkins University: I supported four classes: Modern Alchemy, Biomaterials Lab, Biomaterials I, & Molecules and Cells. My responsibilities included: developing and teaching course modules; leading breakout sessions; updating course materials; creating rubrics; grading; and holding office hours.
Teaching Academy, Johns Hopkins University: I completed formal training in pedagogy.
At the Society of Women Engineers’ booth at the 2014 USA Science & Engineering Festival, we challenged students to build a car using a limited set of materials and to race their designs on this track.
My HEART seminar, “Visualizing Biomolecules”, explored the intersection between microscopy and bioengineering through case studies and a hands-on module.
