Teaching

I aim to provide individualized instruction to students of all backgrounds, while creating empathetic and judgement-free spaces for discussion in my classroom. I have created course plans that are engaging, challenging and adaptable to different learning styles. My goal as an educator is to meet students where they are, while expecting highly of them. I take on an interdisciplinary approach in building my syllabi, drawing from literature across the social sciences and humanities.

I have taught the following classes at John Jay College (CUNY):

  • CRJ 701: Sociology of Crime (syllabus)
  • CRJ 769: Deviant Behavior (syllabus)
  • ICJ 700: International Crime and Justice Theory
  • CJBA 220: Race, Ethnicity, Gender, Crime and Justice

I have also tutored individuals preparing for the high school equivalency exam at the Vernon C. Bain Center and served as a Teaching Assistant for Manhattan College’s Inside-Out course, Criminal Justice Ethics (RELS 399), supporting incarcerated students in their academic work inside the jail.
