Academic Teaching
Command of psychology material, beyond rote memorization, demands critical discourse and personal connection. Pursuant to such, my choices as a professor are guided by evidence-based techniques that encourage students to embrace the uncomfortable spaces of not knowing and self-seeking so that they can create their own deeper connection to the material.
My upper-level curriculum is discovery-based with self- and teacher-led exploration. Culminating in a portfolio-based assessment my classes at every level include concurrent and corrective coaching. Most importantly, I offer students the opportunity to fail and try again. My assessment techniques are evenly distributed across formative individualized assignments and summative standardized assessments.

Professional Training
Lifelong growth and learning should be available at every stage of life. The huge discoveries made, and being made, in psychology do not belong only in protected archives or silos of privileged learning; they belong in the hands of all who seek to understand. I am committed to doing my part in sharing this knowledge through community classes and workshops as well as professional training.
