Jacquie Cala

Former Ph.D. student

Research Interests: the influence of instructor behaviors and characteristics on student learning experiences in STEM.

About me: I received my B.S in Molecular and Cellular Biology from University of Arizona and my M.S in Biology from Arizona State University. I am a Ph.D. student in Biology and I a full-time community college instructor at Chandler-Gilbert Community College.  Outside of Biology Education, I love to be outdoors. One of my favorite activities is hiking with my two "fur kids" (aka dogs), Tucker and Sadie. I also enjoy traveling and exploring the world with my human family whenever I have the opportunity!
