For spring, winter and summer break. Stayed for the months in between.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I was trying to get the students to put the coverslip on the glass slide without air bubbles and they couldn’t. Then I told them to do it like you’re putting on a screen protector for your phone. They all got it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have a disability and sometimes need to use a motorized wheelchair. I’d probably use it to buy an all terrain expensive one so that I can use it on beaches etc.
