Teaching

I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on American politics and research methods. At the undergraduate level I have taught courses such as Introduction to American Politics, Introduction to Public Policy, and the Politics of Regulation (Administrative Law). At the graduate level I have taught a research seminar on Law & Politics, and I routinely teach a Scope & Method course that focuses heavily on research design.

In 2025, I was named Outstanding Undergraduate Teacher in the College of Liberal Arts.

In addition to my collegiate teaching experience, my undergraduate training at Missouri S&T included 33 credit hours of course work in education and pedagogy, culminating in a semester of student-teaching in two different rural high schools in southern Missouri. As a student teacher, I taught American history, World history, and sociology.

Undergraduate:
