Education
Award-Winning Instruction
18 years experience in the university classroom with uniformly high student evaluations.
Skilled at facilitating interactive, respectful conversations on challenging topics like unconscious racial bias and misogyny.
University Professor Award for excellence in teaching at Ohio University.
Jeanette G. Grasselli Brown Faculty Teaching Award in the Social Sciences at Ohio University’s College of Arts and Sciences.
Interactive, Engaging Course Design
Nearly two decades of experience designing and delivering dynamic and interactive face-to-face presentations to audiences of 25 to 80.
Campus leader in innovative online learning approaches, from interactive software to engaging, punchy lecture videos paired with follow-up activities to evaluate student comprehension.
I designed and implemented a 17-day study abroad program for 11 students to visit the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, the International Criminal Court in The Hague, and the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam.
Supportive, Informed Advising and Mentorship
I employ the Appreciative Advising model when working with students. This model builds on ideas from organizational development and encourages students to take ownership over their own journey as a learner by exploring their strengths and interests, identifying goals, and drawing up practical plans for how to get there.
In my work as a Pre-Law Advisor, I have helped students explore their interest in different law-related careers and prepare their law school applications.
Students provide highly complimentary evaluation of my advising, particularly for my knowledgeability, encouragement, and approachability.
