Overview

Supported undergraduate learning in ZOOL 303: Animal Developmental Biology at the University of Alberta, for which I received commendations from the Faculty. The course introduces principles of animal development across vertebrates and invertebrates and integrates molecular, cellular, and comparative perspectives to explain embryogenesis and organ system development.

Responsibilities

Supported students with developmental biology concepts and mechanisms
Facilitated learning through guided problem-solving and discussion
Helped learners connect experimental evidence to developmental outcomes
