About

My background is in Political Science, Public Administration, International Relations

My biggest strengths are:

Experience: Having the ability to share theoretical and practical experience with classroom lectures and text chapters, the combined experiences stimulate students' cognitive knowledge for learning.

While studying political science in college, I received some of the best practical experiences about government institutions in Washington DC as a White House Intern which led to an US Senate internship, and that led to an opportunity to meet several of the Supreme Court Justices. I have worked with both major political parties. When I volunteered at a G8 Summit, it led to my interest in foreign policy and global studies as well.

Engagement: Connecting with students and finding new ways and formats to present material, learning objectives is an on-going benefit for student learning.

I assign special civic engagement assignments, role play, public opinion analysis, and design discussion and analyzation for case study of current polices, issues and court cases.

Innovative: Keeping abreast of cutting-edge teaching practices through professional development training and conferences has multiple benefits. for design of lessons to increase engagement, use of interactive tools for learning objectives, and with grading and assessment tools for the forthcoming AI- driven technology.

In sum, I am a purpose-driven, knowledgeable professional supporting college and university teaching goals.

My Research focuses on Public Opinion, Politics & Religion, Public Policy, Organizational Behavior,  and International Organizations
