Teaching

I've taught a number of specialized and core courses for undergraduate students, including several writing-intensive courses. I received the Department of Sociology's Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Award (University of Michigan) and also a Graduate Teaching Certificate (Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, University of Michigan).  Outside of my work in the classroom, I've also served as an Academic Adviser and Preceptor for the University of Michigan's Undergraduate Honors Program.
