Teaching

At Pitzer, I teach courses in ethics and the history of philosophy. My teaching practice is guided by the conviction that philosophy can be accessible to all learners. I strive for a student-centered pedagogy that enables learners not only to engage with “the big questions,” but also to actively hone valuable, transferrable skills.

At Princeton, my development as a teacher was shaped by participation in the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning’s Teaching Transcript program, Teaching Seminar, and Graduate Teaching Fellowship. I also benefited from external teaching opportunities made possible by a Community College Teaching Fellowship and the Prison Teaching Initiative.

Mentorship

My deep commitment to mentoring and advising students extends beyond the classroom. I have cultivated a wealth of experience facilitating both academic and social co-curricular programming for undergraduates.

Having grown up in rural Wisconsin, the issue of equitable access in higher education is near to my heart. From 2020 to 2022, I served in several roles in support of first-generation and low-income undergraduates at Princeton through the Emma Bloomberg Center for Access and Opportunity. Before that, I was a Resident Graduate Student at Rockefeller College from 2018 to 2020, where I developed programming to support better student writing habits and facilitated a weekly philosophical dinner conversation table.
