Teaching Experience: 

               Assistant Professor CSU Chico. 2000-2005
               Associate Professor CSU Chico, 2005-Present

I have taught undergraduate upper division courses in the ecology of freshwater, and the biology of fishes, non-majors undergraduate courses in conservation biology, and general biology, graduate courses in community ecology and biological writing and scholarship.  In addition I have taught a summer field ecology course at Eagle Lake Field Station during two summers and advanced ecology field courses in Kauai Hawai’i., and Manzanillo Mexico during intersession periods.

               Teaching Assistant Consultant Fellowship. 1997-1999

A fellowship awarded to students interested in teaching that is designed to provide peer consultation and support for UC Davis teaching assistants.  Duties included, TA orientation, interactive workshops, video consultation, one-on-one consultation and mid-quarter evaluation interviews. 

                Professors for the Future Fellowship. 1998-1999

A year long professional development fellowship, awarded to graduate students who conduct an independent project addressing the educational needs of the graduate student community at UC Davis. 

                Program in College Teaching. 1995-1996

A year long professional development program for a select group of graduate students in which the students explore all aspects of college-level teaching as a profession.  In addition students gain hands-on teaching experience in the classroom through mentored teaching program. 

Teaching Assistant

I was a TA for various courses (14 quarters) while at UC Davis, including  ecology , nature and culture, wildlife conservation, evolution, ichthyology and general biology.
