While attending Xavier I received my BS in Environmental Science and also minored in Economics. I am currently pursuing my MA in Biology from Miami University's Project Dragonfly program. With this program I am focused on the pedagogy of conservation and environmental science. I have spent the last seven years educating students k-12, collegiate level, and adult learners. My favorite topics to help students with are ecology and environmental science! However, I have a diverse background and am confident I can help with everything from reading and writing to economics and statistics! I like to focus on ways to break down complex topics into more manageable pieces. I know that a topic may need to be explained five different ways before it is palatable and I am prepared to reword and rephrase with examples to help you get there!
