TEACHING

At Jefferson, I was a Math Instructor and Physics TA as part of their Postbaccalaureate program. At Penn, I was recruited into the IRACDA program, called Penn-PORT, which combines a traditional postdoctoral research experience with the development of teaching skills that focus on increasing diversity in the biomedical sciences. I was then recruited to Rutgers Camden where I’m teaching and integrating research experiences into the biology curriculum as the Assistant Director of Undergraduate Research and Education.
