My Teaching

Since beginning my Ph.D. I have had the amazing opportunity to teach at three universities: the University of West Florida, the Unversity of Nevada, Las Vegas, and now at Oregon State University. I truly appreciate these opportunities, and the experiences that I have had with these fantastic students.

I am extensively engaged in pedagogy and mentorship. I was a member of the inaugural cohorts of both the Teaching Certification and Mentorship Certification at UNLV, a participant and discussant at the 2017 APSA Teaching and Learning Conference, and a roundtable discussant on international education at the International Studies Association 2016 and 2017 Annual Conferences. I have also helped my students engage in scholarship and research, acquire internships, and gain admittance into prestigious graduate programs.
