Life Defining Moments in Meteorology and Higher Education:
- Taking my first calculus class freshman year of college: I had been neutral about math until that point, but my phenomenal teacher helped me discover my love for math and set me on a path of wanting to help others find their own enjoyment of math.
- Teaching Dynamics I: Living the dream!
- Taking qualitative research methods courses: These classes helped me gain a much deeper understanding and appreciation of science.
- Taking part in the OU Graduate Teaching Academy as a graduate student: This program helped me leverage my personality and skills to better teach, and I began to identify as a teacher.
