As part of my position as a fellow in the Yale Poorvu Center's Graduate Writing Lab, I teach several workshops focused on effective science communication. For each workshop, I collaborate with other fellows to design course materials and present to 10-30 other graduate students per session.
In this 4-part series, we introduce skills for telling the story of your research to different audiences through presentations, figures, and posters.
Fall '23, Spring '24, Fall '24, Spring '25, Fall '25
In this workshop, we share tips and tricks for effectively writing scientific topics for a general audience.

As a graduate student at Yale ('21–'23) and an undergraduate at Williams ('19), I worked as a teaching fellow for several different courses. Each semester, this involved holding office hours, designing course materials to supplement the syllabus, independently teaching small sections, supervising labs, and grading assignments.
Intermediate ecology course covering population dynamics, community structure, ecosystem functioning, and ecological interactions in diverse biomes around the world.

Advanced course covering the structure, function, behavior, evolutionary origin, and diversity of birds. Laboratory work included field identification and work with museum specimens to familiarize students with most families within Aves.
48 Students | Spring '23
Introductory course covering evolutionary biology, general ecology, animal behavior, and the history of life, with particular focus on the processes and consequences of evolution and adaptation.
159 Students | Spring '22
Intermediate course covering global environmental patterns and ecology from the population to the ecosystem level, with an emphasis on engaging with the natural history of Williamstown, MA. Field laboratory highlights included censusing wild grasshopper populations, banding Saw-Whet Owls, assessing PCB levels in the Hoosic River, and classifying the relative success of goldenrods under different mowing regimes.
