About
I am an adjunct instructor in biology and geology at Clovis Community College. I'm also interested in making scientific data accessible and usable to more people and in facilitating undergraduate research experiences. C-MOOR is a great chance for undergraduates to participate in the research process right at the beginning of their science education, and to experience science as a process of exploration and discovery instead of just as a catalog of things that are already known. Undergraduate research was a formative experience for me, and I'm excited at the prospect of bringing it into the community college science curriculum.
