I've taught at the University of Groningen, the University of Virginia, Mary Baldwin University, and the University of Twente. My teaching evaluations highlight the creation of a safe, inclusive environment, where everyone feels empowered to ask questions and engage the material and their instructor critically as a particular strength of mine. Students have also appreciated my innovative and hands-on teaching methods, including applied simulation games and flipped classroom assignments. In recognition of the quality of my teaching, I received the Allison J. Melloy Award for Excellence in Teaching from the University of Virginia’s Department of Politics in 2023.
