My teaching philosophy is guided by a belief in mentorship. I aim to assist students in understanding how political topics influence their lives and provide them with the proper tools to think about, pursue interests in, and participate in politics.
My teaching interests broadly are American political institutions, such as Congress, the presidency, judicial politics, public policy (particularly with regard to disability), and political parties. As much of my research engages political context history, I am prepared to teach courses on American political development. I also have interest in teaching research design and quantitative methods, particularly regression analysis and social network analysis
