Here's an overview of my teaching evaluations for the courses I taught at George Mason University. Each class period, I make it my aim to invite students into the learning process through enthusiastic, student-centered instruction and facilitating a classroom environment where each student can flourish. See below for course evaluations, student testimonials, and course syllabi.
Before graduate school, I taught for 5 years at the Delaware Military Academy (2013-18), where I taught Principles of Microeconomics and Principles of Macroeconomics. There, I also founded the Asian Studies program, a speaker series and elective course I started to increase my students’ knowledge and awareness of the histories and cultures of East, Central, and South Asian societies.
