I am an advocate for education. While my primary work is extensively on research, I’m happy to contribute to disseminating knowledge and breaking down barriers as a teacher–but more importantly, as a mentor. Being an instructor in two countries, in changing settings, and across markedly different cultures, has taught me that being an educator takes effort, a talent for adaptation, a love for mentoring, and a desire to build community within a classroom. However, it has also shown me that there is always room for improvement and that my passion for teaching has continued to grow.

I am honored to receive the 2024 Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Award by MSU AFRE.
