Research and Teaching Interests
My current teaching interests are introductory chemistry courses and the core mathematical and laboratory skills needed to train STEM students becoming competent scientist. I am also co-director of the CNS Science Success Center that provides advising and non-academic support to STEM majors on the CSUSB Campus that is supported by a Department of Education PATHS grants.
