Course Information

At Pacific University, all faculty teach a variety of different courses. Typically, we do not use graduate teaching assistants, which means that your classes will be taught by professors and that you will have plenty of opportunities to get to know the faculty in your discipline.

Below I have listed some of the courses that I teach. We are always developing and trying out new classes, so the list may change now and then.

CHEM 110 | Chemistry & Your Environment

CHEM 220 | General Chemistry I

CHEM 230 | General Chemistry II

Education

PhD in Inorganic Chemistry, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash., in 2000

Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Gonzaga University, Spokane, Wash., in 1995
