Feel free to connect with me during GCTLC Office hours, every week on Tuesdays at 1 pm ET! See the Event space for Zoom info!

I am a passionate educator and professional with a broad interest in STEM education reform. I earned a B.S. in Biochemistry from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, an M.Ed. in Secondary Education and a Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of New Hampshire. My research interests are varied but include green chemistry education, comparative genomics, and STEM Ed Reform and Leadership. I am an Associate Professor of Biochemistry at the University of New Hampshire, where I teach my Green Goggles - Introduction to Green Chemistry course for non-majors. I also fully greened the laboratory activities of my one-semester Organic Chemistry survey course. I offer green chemistry workshops with my local Girl Scout Council and other local organizations. I am also a module developer with the ACS-GCI. In addition to my faculty role, I serve as the Executive Director for BioQUEST, a nonprofit organization working in STEM Education reform and Inclusive Pedagogy. I have facilitated several Inclusive STEM Teaching Learning Communities and worked on Inclusive Pedagogy and Accessibilty projects, utilizing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and other inclusive frameworks and practices.

I am excited to serve the green chemistry education community with Beyond Benign as the Inaugural Chief Editor and Moderator for the Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community (GCTLC). I live in New Hampshire and have ducks, geese, chickens, dogs, and rabbits on my small homestead, where I enjoy gardening, birding, and photography.
