Teaching

High School Level

I taught high school English for two years with Teach For America at Gentry High School in Indianola, Mississippi. I also worked as an SAT, ACT, college essay, English and writing tutor for six years.

Undergraduate Level

At Harvard University I served as a Teaching Fellow for three undergraduate sociology courses: Class and Culture, Social Interaction and the American Family.

I also read, graded and advised undergraduates working on their honors theses in both the Departments of Sociology and Social Studies at Harvard University.

I am particularly interested in helping students develop and improve their writing.  I served as the Departmental Writing Fellow in Sociology and was a Bok Center Writing Fellow at Harvard.

Graduate Level

While in graduate school I served as a Teaching Fellow for  a graduate course, Qualitative Social Analysis.  I received a Certificate for Distinction in Teaching for student evaluations of 4.55/5.0 for my work in this course.

As an Assistant Professor I teach in both the Educational Administration and Higher Education programs in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy. I have taught certification, masters and doctoral level courses.
