My teaching is guided by two principles: humility, recognizing that knowledge is collective and contested, and individualized learning, which empowers students to develop confidence in their analytical abilities. At the University of Florida, I have served as instructor of record for courses in Economic Geography, Population Geography, and Social Geography, across classroom, hybrid, and online formats. In 2025, I was nominated for the UF Graduate Student Teaching Award.
I design courses that integrate theory with practice through applied projects, designed and directed by students themselves. My teaching is also informed by my training through the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) Associate Certificate, which I will complete in December 2025.
