Teaching

As an educator, I am committed to fostering a classroom environment that is intellectually rigorous, inclusive, and supportive. I strive to cultivate a space where students can critically engage with complex ideas while feeling valued and empowered to contribute their perspectives.

I have taught undergraduate courses in research methodology and served as a Teaching Assistant for classes on international terrorism, the American presidency, Congress, and Constitutional Law. Beyond formal teaching, I have delivered guest lectures on topics including authoritarian politics, regime transitions, and translating academic research for public audiences. In all of my teaching, I prioritize both students’ intellectual growth and their overall well-being, helping them develop analytical skills, substantive knowledge, and confidence as emerging scholars.
