Additional Experience
In the spring of 2023, I will be a assisting with the re-design of Poli 281, UNC’s introductory data science course for political science, via a UNC Center for Faculty Excellence and Lenovo Instructional Innovation Grant (PIs: Santiago Olivella, Lucy Martin, Timothy Ryan). This project is aimed to make this fundamental data analysis course more engaging, encourage collaboration, and improve learning outcomes.
From 2016-2018, I was a researcher for EAB (the Education Advisory Board) where I completed over 60 studies regarding teaching & learning, teacher professional development, and preparing students for the job market. My work covered both higher and secondary education. This work continues to inform the way in which I approach the classroom.
