As a teacher my primary goals are to help students develop a sociological perspective, hone their critical thinking skills, and learn how to communicate effectively. My approach to teaching is deeply rooted in the principles of equity and inclusion. I am committed to providing a positive and engaging classroom where all students can learn and contribute. I have taught at all levels of the curriculum, ranging from first-year seminars to graduate-level statistics courses.
