Teaching and mentoring are central to my academic journey.
I focus on creating a cooperative, enjoyable, technology-enriched, and dynamic learning environment that inspires and engages students from diverse backgrounds. My commitment to inclusive education drives me to prepare students for the ever-evolving landscape of biology. A cornerstone of my educational philosophy is integrating research into my teaching. This method empowers students to develop critical thinking and adaptability, while leveraging AI-facilitated tools to build a deep, conceptual understanding of biology.
By bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications, I aim to cultivate an inclusive, career-oriented, and stimulating environment where every student can thrive.
I am teaching four plant biology courses as a Developmental Ladder to DePaul students:
BIO166 Introduction to Plant Biology with Labs, for Non-majors.
BIO193 General Biology III: First 5-week Plant Biology Sessions.
BIO209 Plant Physiology with Labs
BIO220 Biotechnology
BIO309/409 Plant Physiology with Labs,
