Welcome!

​
In every aspect of my work, I most enjoy engaging with students. I have taught within five academic institutions across the Political Science disciplines. In all my courses, we focus on applied project-based learning that integrates data literacy and professional skills development into our curricula. Check out my current courses here and my previous course offerings here. In my mentorship capacities, I enjoy working to connect students with careers and assisting with transfer and graduate school applications/ selection. Check out my mentorship page to learn more. I am an advocate of involving undergraduate students in research, whether it be faculty-led projects or independent study. Check out my work with UREs and USC's Security and Political Economy Lab here.

Once a student of mine, I'm always here as a resource: feel free to book my office hours here.
