TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I design my courses to integrate lecture and discussion in ways that promote active participation, critical inquiry, and sustained engagement with course materials. I am committed to fostering a classroom environment that encourages students to think critically and creatively about how their education and lived experiences shape their understanding of politics. Central to my teaching approach is the responsibility to create a respectful and supportive learning environment in which all students feel valued as learners. I bring an engaged and authentic presence to the classroom and aim to cultivate a space where students feel encouraged to do the same.
