See the Geography Department's current course listings here. Instructor, GEOG 115c: Remote Sensing of the Environment 3 Course Description: Remote Sensing of the Environment 3 is the third and final undergraduate course in the Geography Department’s remote sensing series. The course is built around a final project in which students engage in independent research projects. The lectures and labs are built around helping students develop skills in modern tools and techniques for remote sensing. Monday lectures typically cover advanced topics in remote sensing science and a series of guest lectures from professionals working in the field of remote sensing. Wednesday lectures include participatory group activities where students plan for and develop ideas around final projects. Lab sections are designed to give students hands-on experience with the techniques used in final projects.

Visiting Instructor, PC 120: Topics in Physics: Earth from Space Course Description: In this course students explore the principles and techniques behind observing earth from space using real-world data from NASA and NOAA missions. We answer questions such as 1) how does remote sensing technology work? 2) What can we and what can we not measure and monitor from space? 3) what does the data tell us about changes to our earth system? Students learn how to access, analyze, and visualize remote sensing data to answer questions about environmental events and change.
Visiting Instructor, PC 242: Physics for the Physical Sciences II Laboratory, Spring 2024 Course Description: This is the second block of a two-block sequence in introductory physics for students planning to major in the physical sciences or enter an engineering program. This course covers electricity & magnetism, waves, and optics. The course emphasizes mathematically rigorous problem solving.

Teaching Assistant, AOS90: Introduction to Undergraduate Research in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Winter 2023 Course Description: This class will provide students with a basic ability to understand, communicate, and conduct scientific research in the atmospheric and oceanic sciences. Instruction will cover univariate and bivariate statistical data analysis, scientific computer programming, the scientific process, finding and reading scientific literature, basic experimental techniques, analyzing and visualizing Earth system data, and communication of scientific findings in oral and written form. These skills will be taught in the context of several projects drawn from the atmospheric and oceanic sciences.
Teaching Assistant, AOS2: Air Pollution, Spring 2020 Course Description: Causes and effects of high concentrations of pollution in atmosphere. Topics include nature and sources of gaseous and particulate pollutants, their transport, dispersion, modification, and removal, with emphasis on atmospheric processes on scales ranging from individual sources to global effects; interaction with biosphere and oceans; stratospheric pollution.
Teaching Assistant, Graduate Bridge Program, Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Fall 2020 & 2021 Course Description: A 3-week bridge program to introduce incoming graduate students to the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS), graduate school, and fundamental background knowledge for the department's graduate program. Course goals over the three weeks were to create excitement for AOS, build a learning and support community, introduce the learning and research approach in AOS, and remember and learn basic AOS concepts.
Tutoring
UCLA Graduate Writing Center Tutor 2020-2023 As a consultant at UCLA's Graduate Writing Center, I tutored students in academic writing, STEM writing, fellowships and grants, oral presentations, public speaking, quantitative methods, and statistical reporting. I hosted both individual appointments and workshops. During individual appointments I provided interactive collaborative feedback on student writing. My workshops were on fellowship and grant writing in STEM and scientific figure making.
