Teaching

I have been teaching college-level philosophy courses since 2015.

At Tufts, I began as a Teaching Assistant for Nancy Bauer (Feminist Philosophy) and Dan Dennett (Philosophy of Mind). At IU, I taught sections as an Associate Instructor in a variety of courses, ranging from Ethics to Logic. As a tutorial leader for Philosophical Writing and Method, I worked closely with students to develop their ability to express fine distinctions and communicate their views clearly and precisely.

After completing my Certificate in College Pedagogy from IU in 2019, I designed and taught my own curriculum for a course on the Philosophy of Race, Gender, and Sexuality in the Spring of 2020. This course began with in-person instruction, and quickly transitioned to an online format due to the pandemic.

In July, 2021 I began a three-year term on the APA Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy, which organizes the Teaching Hub and APA sessions on pedagogy.

In Spring 2022, I taught an Applied Ethics course at IU, which I developed from scratch to include units on Digital Ethics and Philosophy of Philanthropy. I am currently teaching Intro Philosophy, Classical Ethics, and Feminist Philosophy at Howard University.

I am also TESOL certified (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Between 2016 and 2020, I taught English as a foreign language to English-language learners. Having taught more than 850 online classes with more than 280 student, I learned to adjust my teaching style to individual students and to facilitate online classroom management.
