Teaching/Workshops
The courses I teach are focused on Ornithology and quantitative methods for wildlife sciences. I often use techniques such as dynamic lecturing and active learning to make concepts more accessible and memorable than they may be otherwise. I include current research as well as long established ideas in my teaching to stress upon students that our understanding of the state of the science is dynamic; it has come from many years of inquiry and analysis, but that researchers are always working to refine ideas.
​
I have also teach workshops on how to use eBird data to model species distributions and abundance.
