I am the Associate Director of Humanities at Revelle College, UC San Diego. I received my Ph.D. in Medieval History from UCLA in 2015.

My goal—Bring history alive in the classroom and the community!

Making history accessible, exciting, and relevant is my passion. Over the past eleven years, I have taught a wide range of students with diverse backgrounds and skill sets, including undergraduate students at UCSD, UCLA, LMU, and West LA Community College, high school students in LAUSD, and adult learners at San Diego Job Corps. I have designed and led large lecture courses (90–300 students) and seminars (15–20 students) both in a traditional classroom environment and online. I have also developed composition courses and writing workshops intended to introduce students to discipline specific research and writing practices. My efforts to make history and the historical method accessible have been recognized by both students and faculty.

Now, as Associate Director of Humanities at Revelle College, I am taking my passion one step further. My mission is to empower students to become productive and engaged community members by reflecting on the human experience and considering key issues and questions that have shaped today’s world from a variety of perspectives—history, philosophy, religion, literature, and art.

Studying the humanities teaches us to better-informed decision-makers, to recognize patterns, and to appreciate cultural differences. We are history makers. Let’s learn from each other!
