CURRENT POSITION

Assistant Professor of Environmental Geoscience, Environmental Earth Science Department, Eastern Connecticut State University.

EDUCATION

Dept of Geosciences, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI- Ph.D. April, 2012

TEACHING AND OTHER LOAD CREDIT ACTIVITY

My teaching interest’s center around getting undergraduate students interested in geology with interactive lectures, field trips, classroom demonstrations and discussions. I prefer to teach with as much context back to a student’s everyday life as much as possible. My upper level Environmental Earth Science courses focus on applied topics in coastal geology focusing on the hazards and management of developed coastlines, and glacial/Quaternary geology, with a specific focus on the sedimentary deposits of the last glaciation 26,000 years ago.
