Y3 Portfolio

In 2015 I was hired full-time in the History Department at Lone Star College–Kingwood, where I had taught as adjunct faculty for a number of years while a graduate student. Over the years, I have taught Intro to Humanities (HUMA 1301 & 1302), World History (HIST 2321 & 2322), and U.S. History (HIST 1301 & 1302).

My teaching interests in US history include oral history and local history, with a focus on the Civil Rights Era and the Vietnam War. I am also teaching versions of my US History courses through the twin prisms of film in history/history in film.

I am the founder and coordinator of the LSC Center for Local & Oral History and the faculty co-sponsor of the LSC-Kingwood Chess Club. In addition to my institutional service at LSC-Kingwood, I am the Vice President of the Humble Museum. In 2016, I was awarded a Chancellors Faculty Technology Innovation Grant, and in 2017, I was given the Innovator of the Year Award at LSC-Kingwood.
