Teaching
I work with my students to build knowledge, confidence, and the skills to critically exampine the complex, interacting, and interdisciplinary nature of climate, glaciation, and Earth surface processes. I love working with students as they develop their interests and professional goals. I have pursued teaching opportunities throughout my academic career and hold a teaching certificate from the Preparing Future Faculty curriculum at the University of Minnesota.
Teaching at Dartmouth College
I am teaching Earth Surface Processes and Landforms (EARS 33), an upper-level undergraduate course in Dartmouth’s Earth Sciences Department in Spring 2026 as part of my postdoctoral fellowship. This course is heavily focused on building essential student skills in working with spatial datasets in GIS (ArcPro, QGIS, GRASS GIS) and understanding landscape processes through field, lab, and classroom activities. In addition to teaching at Dartmouth, I am also directly supervising several undergraduate research students (see Undergraduate Research Advising below).
