I joined the Furman Faculty Development Center (FDC) in 2020 after spending nearly six years as a faculty member in the Department of Environmental Science & Sustainability at Allegheny College (Meadville, PA). As the FDC Associate Director, I utilize insight from the learning sciences to provides direct support for the wide variety of programs, workshops, and strategic initiatives across the institution that enhance teaching and learning. Some of my areas of emphasis include interdisciplinary education and assessment, STEM learning and curriculum development, sustainability, inclusive pedagogies, curriculum design and development, and undergraduate research.

Trained as an environmental geographer, my scholarship focuses on environmental education and learning, public engagement in science, and conservation. My areas of interest include place-based science education, sense of place, sustainability science, environmental psychology, animal studies, avian ecology, and community conservation. I currently serves as a co-PI on two projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), including an Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) initiative focused on critical thinking, science learning, and place attachment in a citizen science context and a Scholarships in STEM program focused on improving access to and achievement in STEM disciplines among underrepresented students.
