Teaching Experience
I am an Assistant Professor of Anatomy at the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine at the Cherokee Nation, where I teach cadaver dissection-based human gross anatomy and neuroanatomy to medical and graduate students.
In the past, I served as a Lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences, California State University, Los Angeles. I taught lecture and lab sections for Principles of Biology I, and lab sections for Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II and Principles of Biology II.
I've also served as a teaching assistant for the human gross anatomy course, "Structures," at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. As a teaching assistant at Montana State University, I taught Earth Systems Science and Dinosaur Paleontology labs.
I also co-developed and co-taught a high school summer course, "Evolution: Dinosaurs to Birds," based on the Dinosaurs Among Us exhibit, for the Lang Science Program at the American Museum of Natural History.
