TEACHING
Courses Taught
1. Ecological Biology – BIOL 111 at Earlham College, 1 semester (Fall 2020)
An introductory ecology course with field-based learning as a major component. I assisted as
students designed field projects, collect and analyze data, and write up results.
2. Conservation Biology – BIOL 360 at Earlham College, 1 semester (Fall 2020)
A discussion-based class about conservation of biodiversity. I designed this course to be ~50%
student led, including debates and student-created activities.
3. Fundamentals of Environmental Science – NRES 100 at University of Illinois, 2 semesters as in-
structor (Fall 2018 & 2019), 1 semester as T.A. (Fall 2017)
Hybrid course for non-majors designed to incite student interrogation of personal environmen-
tal worldviews. I redesigned the course to be based entirely in active learning principles, with a
project where students use lifestyle changes to reduce ecological footprints.

RESEARCH
Wildlife Ecology & Invasive Plants
§ Description: My projects in this area are field studies exploring grassland community response
to anthropogenic changes to working landscapes, with a particular focus on invasive plants and

3
restoration. Much of this work has been conducted as a part of the Conservation in Working
Landscapes Working Group in the Grand River Grasslands of Iowa.
Conservation Behavior & Private Land Habitat Restoration
§ Description: My projects in this area explore actions taken by private landowners that have a
direct impact on wildlife habitat quality. Techniques have included mixed-model landowner sur-
veys grounded in conservation psychology and observations of behavior using aerial imagery.
Ecological Education & Student Environmental Attitudes
§ Description: Examines the impact of project-based learning on ecological knowledge and atti-
tudes of undergraduate students using pre- and post-surveys framed with theory from conser-
vation psychology.
