Teaching and Mentoring
I have taught active-learning seminars, guest lectured, TAd, and served in a year-long fellowship with the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Pennsylvania.
I also greatly enjoy teaching others about research and have mentored students in organizational research at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Teaching Assistant Highlight
For the past three years, I have had the pleasure of TAing Decision Making in the Leadership Chair, an MBA-level course taught by William P. Lauder, Executive Chairman of Esteé Lauder.
