Teaching

Teaching Overview

My teaching aims to create an inclusive learning environment that connects theoretical concepts to real-world policy and practice. My courses are designed to help students critically engage with key ideas while developing the skills necessary for careers in public service and for future graduate or professional study. Across courses, I emphasize active learning and scaffolded writing with frequent feedback, and I regularly incorporate policy documents, legal materials, and real-world case studies to connect academic concepts to contemporary debates in criminal justice policy.
