Teaching Philosophy 

My primary goal in teaching is to develop my students as critical thinkers who can apply theoretical knowledge to public discourse. I aim for my students to understand the interconnection between the disciplines of international and domestic politics, including their implications on broader societal, economic and democratic processes. In order to create an effective learning environment, my teaching is centered around accessibility and inclusiveness. In the classroom, I strive to create a collaborative environment where all students feel comfortable contributing to class discussions and asking questions. I place a particular focus on creating a safe space for students from non-traditional backgrounds; as a first-generation scholar and immigrant myself, I understand the challenges students from underrepresented groups face when they are deprived of relatable role models in academic settings.
