My scholarship bridges science education, equity, and communication. I explore how culture, identity, and narrative influence how people learn and engage with science—from undergraduate biology classrooms to broader public spaces.
As a biology educator at Salem State University, I publish and present across biology education research (BER), the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), and science communication. Below is a selection of peer-reviewed publications and invited talks that reflect my ongoing commitment to inclusive, story-driven science education.
