Courses Taught: <\/strong>Fundamentals of Chemistry, Elementary Physiological Chemistry, Analytical & Preparative Biochemical Laboratory Methods<\/p>\n

Teaching Statement:\u00a0<\/strong>My teaching philosophy revolves around building community, creating accessible content, and ungrading in the classroom. My approach is focused on student-centered learning, but also integrates the approaches of universal design. The premise of universal design is to design a course that is accessible by any student. This approach has created successful learning environments that empower my students regardless of background to be scientists ready for the workforce.<\/p>\n

Research Statement:\u00a0<\/strong>My lab focuses on the antioxidant properties of plants traditionally in teas used by Indigenous tribes in North America.\u00a0 We investigate the mechanisms of how the polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites, act as antioxidants in the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans<\/em>, using the known oxidant manganese chloride. Epidemiological studies have shown that long-term diets rich in polyphenols benefit human health as they might act as antioxidants due to their ability to offer protection against the development of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative diseases.<\/p>\n
