As a chemistry educator and curriculum developer, my current research and scholar activities involve student-centered teaching and learning strategies that provide active learning chemistry activities as well as engaging and inclusive chemistry curriculum.  Currently, my curricular efforts are focused on health science and non-science majors, involving Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL), specifications grading, and lower stakes assignments to meet course learning outcomes.  My research methods use both quantitative and qualitative data to analyze student learning and experiences in my chemistry classes.
