• Ecology Lab (VCU & UVA) - Presented lectures on ecology fundamentals, led undergraduate students in field, laboratory, and virtual exercises on data collection, statistical analyses, data interpretation, and scientific writing, and provided written feedback on lab reports.

• Ecosystem Ecology (VCU & UVA) - Provided 1-on-1 instructional support to graduate and undergraduate students, led discussion groups, and graded course material and exams.

• Ecotechniques (VCU) - Trained undergraduate students on quantifying aquatic metabolism using the light & dark bottle technique with Winkler titration.

• Limnology (UVA) - Provided 1-on-1 instructional support to graduate and undergraduate students, led discussion groups, and graded course material and exams.

• River & Estuarine Ecology (VCU) - Provided 1-on-1 instructional support to graduate students and graded course material and exams.
