As an instructor, I help students engage with complex social issues through a comparative lens. My teaching philosophy centers on developing students’ sociological imagination: enabling them to situate social actors within their socio-historical contexts. Beyond theoretical understanding, I help to equip students with analytical skills to advance their careers.
My teaching experience includes serving as primary instructor for two Introduction to Criminology courses in the Summer of 2024 and 2025, and as a teaching assistant in Contemporary Sociological Theory, Introduction to Latin American Studies, and specialized criminology courses such as Mass Incarceration and Policing & Society.
I am currently developing “Crime and Politics,” an original course exploring how collective violence, social conflict, and state formation co-evolve with criminogenic processes. I regularly deliver guest lectures on social movements of the Global South and bring particular enthusiasm to teaching quantitative methods.
