Teaching

I enjoyed teaching undergraduate courses such as principles of microeconomics and the economics of information with a focus on applications in labor. My teaching training and experience, fields of specialization, graduate assistantships, and multidisciplinary academic background make me particularly well-equipped to teach other courses like labor economics, applied microeconomics (e.g., game theory, public, IO, economics of education), intermediate microeconomics, applied econometrics, statistics, and math for economists (both undergraduate and masters). Furthermore, I would welcome the opportunity to develop graduate-level courses in labor, applied microeconomics, and applied methods.

Before deciding to pursue a PhD in economics, I spent several years successfully teaching mathematics courses ranging from elementary algebra to Advanced Placement calculus at the public high school and community college levels. My teaching experience spans a spectrum of settings from institutions serving high-minority, low-income populations to institutions serving predominately white, upper- and middle-income populations. I have worked with students of various ages and abilities from high school freshman to senior citizens, and from the brightest students on campus to students referred to as "repeat, repeat offenders of math."
