My teaching interests lie at the intersection of social and health psychology. Within the classroom, I aim to bring focus to the way that sociocultural factors influence not only our attitudes and behaviors, but also our mental and physical well-being, as well as our perception of the world. My goal is to help students to connect psychological concepts with their real world experiences. I have experience teaching both small and large classes, as well as integrating online and remote campus students into the classroom.

I also aim to teach outside of the classroom, bridging activism with thoughtful, informed discussion to create spaces for academics and activists to discuss real world issues.
