My passion is for undergraduate instruction and support. Trained as a scientist in evolutionary psychology, I have the background and experience to teach a large number of core undergraduate courses including Introductory Psychology, Research Methods, Statistics, Social Psychology, Cultural psychology, and a number of evolutionary themed upper level psychology courses. Presently, my focus is on course development, and the use of student response systems (SRS) in the classroom. Some pedagogical techniques I utilize in addition to SRS include scaffolding assignments, team-teaching, and problem-focused instruction.
In terms of student support, I focus on skills training and undergraduate advising. In addition to an official advising role within the Psychology Department, I consult on a variety of topics – such as note taking, exam prep, library research, and scientific writing – that help students to adapt and succeed in university and beyond. I encourage student-instructor interaction by making myself more accessible to students during extended weekly office hours.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
