I am an experienced teacher, and think a lot about new ways to help my students get the most out of philosophy. I welcome the open sharing of strategies and ideas about pedagogy, so please feel free to reach out to ask for any of my syllabi or teaching methods.

In Winter 2026-2027, I am excited to be teaching two new undergraduate classes at the Universität Trier: one of the metaphysics of evil in the history of Western philosophy (in German), and one on Mary Shepherd in relation to Hume and Berkeley.  I have previously taught the following undergraduate classes:

• 'Religion & Reason' at Princeton University
• 'Introduction to Western Philosophy' at University College Roosevelt
• 'Ethics & Society I' at UCSD
• 'Understanding Evil' at UCSD

I was fortunate to attend the inaugural summer program of the Minnesota Center for Canon Expansion and Change (CCEC), a workshop on inclusive teaching and syllabus design in early modern philosophy. It was easily one of my favorite weeks in philosophy and has left a deep impact on my history syllabi. I am especially happy to talk about and share strategies for teaching the history of philosophy in an inclusive way and incorporating traditionally marginalized or non-canonical figures.

Before graduate school, I honed my teaching skills as a professional debate and argumentation trainer for DebatUnie, a social enterprise in the Netherlands. I traveled across the country teaching students at all levels and ages and receiving constant, often immediate feedback (if you're not engaging a 14 year-old, they'll let you know!)
