Current Students

I'm originally from Bay City, MI and did my undergraduate degree in movement science at the University of Michigan. My research focus is currently on self-regulated learning, how students use online lectures and how instructors can use learning analytics. I'm also invested in flipped and blended classroom development. Outside of work/school I enjoy powerlifting, herping (aka finding reptiles and amphibians out in the woods) and hanging out with my two cats, Midna and Meatloaf.

I'm originally from Kansas City, MO (go Chiefs) and did my undergraduate degree in Organismal Biology and Educational Studies at Rockhurst University. Currently, I am researching the use of formative assessments in undergraduate A&P courses through the use of qualitative inquiry. I also serve as the Graduate Assistant for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning program at the Center for Innovative Teaching & Learning. Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, hanging out with friend and drinking coffee!

I’m originally from Phoenix, AZ and received my bachelor’s degree in biomedical science from Northern Arizona University. Throughout high school and college, I gained teaching experience working in elementary schools across the state. My research focus is on specifications grading, and how this alternative grading approach helps improve student work ethic and motivation and reduces stress levels. Outside of school, I love going to concerts and crafting!

Originally from Michigan, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan. My current research interests include integrating social and structural determinants of health into anatomy curricula and examining anatomy outreach, particularly its role in shaping professional development.

My research interests currently center around development of metacognition and study skills for undergraduate STEM students interested in allied health care careers. In addition, I am interested in the integration of Anatomy and Physiology curricula and its impact on student metacognition and study skills. In my free time I enjoy running, basking in the outdoors, birding and copious amounts of hot java.

I grew up in Arizona and got my undergraduate degree at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. While Bloomington may not have the same scenic mountains as Utah, I still love to get out into nature, hiking, kayaking, usually with my dog, Olive.

My current research interests are in motivation theory, motivational design and instrument development to measure student motivations in the anatomy classroom.
