Teaching Experience

I have been teaching the Web GIS course at ACC for 13 years as well as a variety of other GIS Workforce course in the GIS Department at ACC

I was a NASA SEES mentor for 3 years also. This is a summer program that allows high school students to participate in authentic scientific research with scientists. 

I've also teach Introduction to Environmental Science - for the last 2 years
