Teaching

I taught elementary school in Chula Vista, CA between 1996-1999 before pursuing my graduate studies. I credit my training in critical pedagogy with helping me frame my current teaching style – one that is community driven, engages with multiple learning styles and modalities, and is collaboratively focused. I’ve enjoyed teaching at the University level since 2003 and am always thrilled to learn from, and with, all of the students I’ve worked with over the years. I’ve taught two summer abroad programs in México and a Graduate Seminar at the University of Castilla - La Mancha in Spain. If you are interested in exchanging syllabi on any of these classes, send me a message!
