As a scholar-teacher, my goal is to empower lifelong learners and knowledge producers who will be able to take on the world’s most pressing challenges with compassion, resilience, and courage.

Teaching Awards

Every year, graduate instructors are nominated by undergraduate students for the Penn Prize for Excellence in Teaching by Graduate Students, a teaching prize awarded by the Office of the Provost. In 2022, I was one of 10 students across the entire university to be awarded this prize. I feel really proud to have received this honor because nominations came directly from students I have taught and mentored.
