Teaching Experience

I have taught 36 courses as the instructor of record, in addition to being a teaching assistant for nine courses and a writing tutor for over two years.

My teaching experiences in anthropology have included a variety of institutional models with diverse student body demographics, including the R1 university, branch campus, liberal arts college, community college, and online teaching. With each year I aim to expand my pedagogical skillset, especially in regard to working with students from diverse backgrounds; I have completed two certificates in college teaching, as well as a faculty learning program on engaging Indigenous students and topics.

Anthropology: 27 courses as the instructor of record, 9 courses as a TA

Writing and Rhetoric: 9 courses as the instructor of record, 2 years as a tutor
