Honors at Calvin

Biography

I am Associate Director of the Calvin Honors Program. I am also the advisor for Calvin's pre-occupational therapy and pre-physician assistant programs. I enjoy doing research at Calvin because it provides me with the opportunity to work closely with very talented and curious students, who often ask wonderful, thought-provoking questions that prompt the exploration of new research avenues. Outside of Calvin, I enjoy spending time with family. We can often be found outdoors at a local park or the beach. I also enjoy baking, ice skating, reading, and spending time with extended family and friends.

Education

  • Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Vanderbilt University (2002)
  • B.S. in Biochemistry, Oakland University (1995)

Professional Experience

Prior to joining the faculty at Calvin, I taught at a Christian university in Nashville, TN, where I also served as the coordinator of the science and mathematics department. I joined the faculty at Calvin in 2007 and currently teach cell biology and genetics, cell physiology, general biology, and human biology.

Academic Interests

  • DNA topoisomerases
  • Interactions between chemotherapeutic agents and their cellular targets
  • DNA-enzyme interactions
  • Active-learning pedagogies

Research

I am developing materials to improve children's understanding of cancer. My research student, Sara Conrad, and I found a lack of . We focused on developing a curriculum with four sections: (1) introducing children to the basic scientific concepts of cancer; (2) teaching about leukemia and lymphoma, the most common cancers for children under age 9; (3) presenting information about cancer treatments; and (4) helping children find ways to care for others with cancer.

I have also investigated the role of bacteria in the premature rupture of fetal membranes. I focused on studying the shift from a healthy vaginal environment to bacterial vaginosis conditions, which causes negative effects in reproduction, pregnancy, and contracting STDs.

Leveraging Laboratory Activities to Achieve STEM Education Reforms

This project involved reviewing data from past semesters and working toward a new lab manual, as well as sharing findings in the form of manuscripts for publication in professional journals. Through development and testing of multi-week investigatory models, the goal of this project is to devise learning environments in cellular and molecular biology laboratory courses where master of interdisciplinary science competencies is integrated with the best educational practices.
