As a teacher, I have four goals: 

1) Cultivate an inclusive community 

2) Support students in developing critical, scientific thinking skills 

3) Illustrate the real-world applicability of the content

4) Provide strong mentorship.

I believe these four elements are the foundation to providing students with transformative learning experiences. I try to infuse these pillars into the classroom every day. 

At Bryn Mawr College, I have taught – Introductory Psychology (B105), Introduction to Social Psychology (B208), Lab in Social Psychology (B288), and Unlocking the Self-Control Toolbox (B332), an upper-level seminar on self-control and emotion regulation.
