Biography
I am an assistant professor in the department of Biology at the University of Mississippi. I currently conduct discipline-based education research on biology education and STEM equity. While my interests are broad, I am especially interested in self-regulated learning and identifying strategies that improve the development of these skills for all biology students. Prior to starting at the University of Mississippi, I completed a postdoctoral research position in the Ballen Lab at Auburn University. I completed my doctoral degree in neurobiology in the Theibert Lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Following the completion of my degree, I was a Teach for America corps member and middle school science teacher in North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
