Welcome! I'm an Assistant Professor of Political Science at San Diego Mesa College, where I regularly teach sections of American Government, Comparative Politics, and Elementary Statistics for Political Science. I am a big advocate of integrating open educational resources (OER) and public scholarship into my courses. 

Prior to becoming a faculty member, I worked as an online course developer at Bunker Hill Community College, where I partnered with instructors in building out asynchronous courses. I earned a BA in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles and a PhD in political science from Northeastern University. Outside of teaching, you can catch me traveling to new cities, watching baseball games, or traveling to new cities to watch baseball games.
