One of the nicest, most caring professors I've met at WashU. It's really clear that she's passionate about microbiology and teaching in general. She makes the class very hands-on, but is there for personal feedback/guidance whenever you need. The 3 hours of class flew by all semester!!

I had summer microbiology lab with Dr. Maggie - she is amazing. She is very passionate about teaching and this really shows in her daily interactions with students. Despite the fast pace of summer she made the material accessible and fun to learn. She's very caring and wants students to succeed, and is always there to help. Highly highly recommend.
