Inclusive Practice, infusing IP into course work, online and hybrid

I am an Assistant Professor of Biology. My research journey started with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) within the sciences (ex: active-learning techniques, problem/inquiry-based learning, and scaffolded/modeling teaching practices). It has naturally evolved to include an inclusive and equitable teaching lens. I work with adult learners through various formats (in-person, hybrid, and online). My current research projects include: “Inclusive curriculum and teaching practices to improve retention in Anatomy and Physiology” and “Importance of social integration (counterspace and belongingness) in the persistence of underrepresented student populations in STEM.” I look forward to working with all of you and learning what inclusive practices you are using and/or would like to incorporate into your courses.

I am an alumnae of St. Kate’s and a Consociate with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet (CSJs). A Consociate is a lay person who actively brings the CSJ mission into the world in the context of her/his/their life. I have been teaching and serving as the Research Coordinator in the Master of Arts in Holistic Health Studies since 2004. My life journey has focused on integrating mind, body, and spirit. I hold a broad and inclusive view of spirituality and spiritual practices. I use my experiences as a psychologist, nurse, researcher, teacher, holistic healer, ritualist, partner, mother, and collaborator to inform my work in the world. I look forward to exploring Catholic identity collaboratively with you!
