I had the wonderful opportunity to design and teach a seminar course for the Collins Living and Learning Community at Indiana University. During the Spring 2021 semester, I taught 10 students from an array of disciplinary background how paleontologists use evidence from the fossil record to infer how ancient animals lived. Students created their own piece of paleoart for their final project and presented on the research that went into the reconstruction.

Throughout my time as an instructor, I have participated in Indiana University's Graduate Teaching Apprenticeship Program (GTAP) to continually improve my pedagogical practice. This involved attending workshops, completing and receiving feedback on my in-class teaching. As part of this program, I co-led a workshop for the 2022 Associate Instructor Orientation: Practical Guidelines for STEM Lab AIs.

I have worked as an Associate Instructor at Indiana University for five semesters, including teaching the lab sections for Dinosaurs and their Relatives and Earth: Our Habitable Planet. These introductory courses cover a breadth of biological and geological concepts, with hands on lab activities.

3D data is widely available online, but the tools to use can be expensive and difficult to learn. I created The Virtual Paleontologist to make short, accessible tutorials on open-source software for 3D data, lowering the barrier to entry for this amazing resource. I have also given virtual and in person workshops on 3D data built upon these tutorials.

I spent several years volunteering at the fossil preparation lab at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. There, I talked with visitors ranging from preschoolers to adults. I answered questions on everything paleontology related, demonstrated fossil preparation, and learned about many kid's favorite dinosaurs.

Science Fest is an annual event at Indiana University bringing science at the university to the local community. I volunteered for Science Fest for four years. For two of those years, I ran the paleontology station, putting together a fossil digging activity for younger children and selecting a variety of fossils and casts that were of interest to all ages.
