My teaching centers on building critical thinking skills and a healthy academic community that is responsive to students of diverse backgrounds. I draw on flipped classroom methods, free course materials, and student-centered design to make political science accessible to non-majors, international students, and first-generation scholars alike. I have four courses prepped as instructor of record and five years of Teaching Assistant experience at UC Irvine.
