I am an award-winning instructor and committed mentor. At Berkeley, I served as a graduate student instructor for nine semesters, winning an "outstanding" teaching award in the 2018-19 school year. In 2020 and 2023, Prof. Kim Voss and I were awarded a grant from UC Berkeley's Art of Writing program to develop a writing-intensive seminar that taught students how to communicate social scientific research to the public. In 2022, I was selected through a competitive process to serve as the Excellence in Teaching Blumer Fellow. As part of that role, I co-taught a pedagogy seminar for graduate students entering their first semester of teaching at Berkeley. 

Beyond the classroom, I mentored Berkeley sociology majors completing their senior thesis. I also volunteered as a Social Sciences Research Pathways mentor through the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment. 

For three years, I served as a Sociology Department Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity Curriculum Fellow. With other fellows, I analyzed six years of undergraduate syllabi to foster discussion about the future of the department's teaching. I also co-led a seminar exploring theoretical perspectives not often included on department syllabi, an effort that included discussions of work by Stuart Hall, Audre Lorde, and Michel-Rolph Trouillot.
