I have taught and assisted in a range of undergraduate courses in international relations, conflict studies, and political violence at the University of Pittsburgh:

  • Conflict and War Theory (Instructor, UG, Summer 2025) – Designed and taught a thematic course on the onset, conduct, and resolution of civil and interstate conflict, using simulations, debates, and applied case studies.

  • World Politics (Instructor, UG, Summer 2024) – Introduced students to international relations theory and global institutions, pairing core readings with weekly discussion prompts on current events.

  • World Politics (Teaching Assistant, UG, 2023) – Led weekly discussion sections, graded essays, and held office hours for over 100 students across two semesters.

  • Political Violence (Guest Lecturer, UG, Spring 2024) – Delivered lectures on civil war onset and civilian targeting, integrating interactive polls and case comparisons.

I have also completed the University of Pittsburgh’s Achievement in Pedagogy Badge Program and received consistently positive teaching evaluations, with students highlighting my inclusive teaching style, accessibility, and engaging course design.
