My research interests include environmental education and education for sustainable development (particularly with under-represented groups), environmental attitudes and behavior, environmental justice, multi-cultural education, theories of learning, and science education reform. I received my PhD in Natural Resources at Cornell University in 2009 studying environmental and science education. I obtained my BS and MS in Horticulture from Texas A&M where I studied the effects of a Junior Master Gardener Program on the environmental attitudes of children. I teach ENVS 101: People and the Environment, ENVS 102: Science and the Environment, ENVS 301: Junior Practicum, ENVS 280: Approaches to Environmental Education, and FYS 102: Science and the Community.
