Overview

I have years of experience teaching middle school, high school, undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty across various institution types, including community-college and R1 settings. At each of these places, I have taught asynchronously online, synchronously online, hybrid of online and face-to-face, and face-to-face, and I have won several teaching awards. Across all these courses, my goal is to structure my classes around critical pedagogy and intersectional feminism so that students can become change agents in their lives in their education and worlds.

F2F and eLearning

WRA/ENG 395: WC Theory and practice
Class Description: This course invites students to build more comprehensive understandings of the theories and practices of writing centers, writing, and literacy. Throughout the course, students will (1) learn about language and literacy practices, (2) recognize and account for writing as a social practice influenced by social forces, (3) reflect on their own experiences, identities, and practices of reading and writing through these social forces including identity, location, race, class, gender, disability, and sexuality, and (4) develop a range of practices for criticality and being. Through reflection, practice, and community-engaged learning, students will develop toolkits and strategies for working with writers. In this, students will learn how to balance their own boundaries and needs with the needs of writers who have differing needs, experiences and literacies whilst remaining critical of power structures. ​
WS 301: Sexual Violence Against Women and Children
Course Description: ​We will engage with various topics under sexual violence and oppression. We will critically examine a variety of texts through different social, societal, and cultural lenses to understand how dominant systems of oppression have shaped our understanding of sexual violence so that we can develop individual and collective strategies to disrupt violence. You will be introduced to and develop an understanding of sexual violence, including rape, battering, incest, and sexual harassment from theoretical and applied perspectives. We’ll interrogate the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, oppressive systems, and violence.
Writing Center Training
Project Description: Created learning modules using videos, forms, and Google classroom for new and returning consultants in the MSU Writing Center (see screenshot). Also, collated resources to assist consultants and clients with writing using a visual graphic organizer.

Curriculum Development

​Mentor Program
Project Description: Matched returning graduate consultants with new graduate students where they worked through the semester-long mentor program designed to train and onboard new students. Program included orientation training, surveys, meetings, learning curriculum, and more. Consisted of 10-20 participants each semester. 
Trauma-Informed Teaching
Project Description: Consulted with University of South Carolina Beaufort's Writing Center to develop training on trauma-informed tutoring (~15 participants). Created trauma-informed teaching workshop for Red Cedar Writing Project and Ball State University (~100 participants).
Graduate Writing Initiatives
Project Description: Collaborated with various campus partners, including the Graduate School and University Outreach and Engagement, to provide programming for graduate students and faculty. Created and facilitated several workshops and write-ins throughout an academic semester to support graduate students’ writing and education goals. Organized and modified handbook for graduate students.
Inclusive Pedagogy
Project Details: As part of the Inclusive Pedagogy Specialist role at the Teaching Center at MSU, I compose a variety of educator-facing articles, playlists, and workshops for educators.
