I am committed to excellence in teaching and continually working to improve my teaching skills. I teach a variety of undergraduate comparative politics courses at Baylor University, including Comparative Government, Politics and Literature, and my newly approved African Politics elective course. I will teach a new elective seminar on Political Sociology in spring 2026.
At New College, I taught tutorials and review classes for the first-year Practice of Politics (introductory comparative politics) course and the second-year Comparative Government and Political Sociology core courses and tutorials for the third-year Politics in Sub-Saharan Africa elective course. I also taught two class sessions for the Politics in Sub-Saharan Africa course and helped mark the department’s preliminary (first-year) end-of-year exams for the University of Oxford’s Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR).
At Georgetown University, I worked as a teaching assistant for four semesters (fall 2016 – spring 2018) and led discussion sections for the large, introductory lecture courses in comparative politics and international relations. I was nominated for the Graduate School’s Outstanding TA in the Social Sciences award in 2017 and participated in the on-campus Center for New Designs in Research and Learning Teaching’s Apprenticeship in Teaching Program.
I previously taught English to Form I (8th grade) and Form II (9th grade) students at Majengo Secondary School (2011-12) in Moshi, Tanzania.
