I offer a wide range of courses in U.S. history and the history of medicine. I believe that history education should equip students with the historian’s skill set—the ability to analyze diverse sources, build evidence-based arguments, communicate complex ideas in a variety of mediums, and intercultural competence. This philosophy animates my course design and assignments, which include “history labs,” op-eds, and collaborative archival research projects. I’ve been fortunate to teach in a variety of institutional settings. Before graduate school, I gained invaluable pedagogical training and hands-on experience as a public school teacher. This background informs my teaching in the college classroom, where I employ student-centered pedagogy to foster an active, engaging, and productive classroom experience for my students.
