Starting in 2014, I became a professor of practice.  This position has allowed me to explore my current passion: teaching microbiology.  I am currently exploring teachiques to facilitate active learning in large and online course.  I am also regularly part of the microbiology assessment program, whose purpose is to improve Microbiology teaching and student success.  Previous to my teaching possition I was a laboratory researcher who focused on pathogensis and host-pathogens intersactions.
