Teachers
help create
beautiful
minds.

I'm currently an assistant professor at Washington State University in the School of Politics, Philosophy, and Public Affairs. Previously, I taught at Haverford College in Peace, Justice, and Human Rights and at Michigan State University in the Department of Philosophy. I was a Teaching Fellow at the James Madison Residential College, where I received specialized training in interdisciplinary pedagogy. My teaching philosophy and examples of courses taught are below. I’ve also included class modules that I wrote for the NEH EDSITEment project.

I've spent the last four years developing online courses for Michigan State University, editing existing courses to meet accessibility standards, training faculty in best practices, and crafting online videos and interactive assessments. I also completed an online specialization in Virtual education from University of California, Irvine.
