My favorite biological phenomenon: Behavior is always fascinating to observe. I find parental behavior particularly interesting: it’s so critical for survival, yet so complicated. How does any organism succeed?

My favorite aspect of teaching: I love trying to incorporate some “outside the box” activities and ideas into classes. I also enjoy listening to students.

Why I chose Biology: I always wanted to study animal behavior, and biology was the route I chose to allow me to pursue this fascination.

My hobbies:  Cooking, visiting zoos, baseball, family.

My source of inspiration: Charles Darwin. Talk about seeing the big picture!
