Teaching

I believe learning works best when it feels connected and relevant. As a former Pedagogical Fellow, I encourage active learning and trauma-informed teaching that support students’ well-being while fostering curiosity and critical thinking. I strive to create a classroom where students feel empowered to engage deeply with psychological science and apply it to their own lives and communities.

Academic Writing

Semester: Spring

Offered: 2026

This course focuses on developing strong academic writing skills tailored to the field of psychology. Major themes include clarity of expression, APA style and formatting, ethical writing practices, and strategies for structuring empirical research reports and critical essays. Students will engage in workshops, peer review, and revision processes designed to build confidence and competence in professional writing.

Check out my blog post through the Division of Teaching Excellence and Innovation at the University of California, Irvine, where I highlight evidence-based approaches for promoting active learning, fostering student engagement, and integrating research-based practices into the psychology classroom.

Writing is my passion. I contributed for several years as a researcher to the U See I Write Faculty Writing Initiative, a program at UC Irvine designed to support faculty in building sustainable writing practices, fostering community, and enhancing scholarly productivity. This work culminated in the publication of the Handbook: The U See I Write Faculty Writing Initiative, which provides evidence-based strategies and lessons learned from the program.
