Teaching
I enjoy teaching and having the opportunity to interact with students. While pursuing a PhD, I have taken advantage of multiple opportunities to teach both as a teaching assistant and as the instructor-of record. The BBC World Service Trust invited me to teach structural equation modeling and social network analysis to researchers working on development communication during their 2009 annual workshop. I am currently working with the Marshall School of Business Experiential Learning Center. I facilitate an array of scenarios that give students experience with participatory learning on topics such as cross-cultural and organizational communication.
Through my experiences in the classroom, I have developed an approach to teaching that focuses on encouraging student involvement. I believe in challenging students and using scaffolding techniques to help them achieve more than they realized they could.
