I work with students so that we can actively plan and participate in a wide range of projects, including through independent research studies (ENSTU 497), CSUMB's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center (UROC), and through short- and long-term community-engaged projects that are part of the Engagement Lab. I occasionally advise external students on theses or doctoral committees.
