Teaching

Northern Virginia Community College / Online Lecturer
JANUARY 2014-PRESENT
VIRGINIA, USA
Designed courses in a Virtual Learning Environment that leveraged the self-paced nature of online courses to create student led learning objectives. Created an engaging online environment by connecting ancient history to modern issues that are relevant to students which promoted increased class discussion. Utilized a regular system of communication to create personal connections with students that is most often referenced as leading to successful outcomes in student evaluations. Outside of the classroom I led professional development workshops on online content management systems with emphasis on the CANVAS system currently used.


King’s College London / Graduate Teaching Assistant
SEPTEMBER 2017 – PRESENT
LONDON, UK
With a focus on the Socratic method in seminars, lessons in the Digital Humanities focused on discussing the changing nature of communication and interactivity in the modern world. In addition, I experimented with heuristic methods that put the onus on students to not just lead their own research but to actively demonstrate how their ideas affect the real world in real time.

Stevenson University / History Faculty
JANUARY 2014 -JULY 2016
MARYLAND, USA
Working in the Public History department my lessons blended content mastery of European history with practical applications for museum and archives work. I pushed the department towards digital history by designing a series of courses that students could take for a certification as well as integrating public facing digital history projects with relevant groups such as the Maryland Air National Guard. Gave regular workshops for the department on new technologies being used in archival and museum practices.


Howard Community College / History Faculty
AUGUST 2012-JULY 2016
MARYLAND, USA
Focused lesson planning on a wider, global view of history that was inclusive of diverse perspectives. Used a student centered learning approach that shifted lectures and readings to an online space in order to focus in class lesson time on synthesizing materials and creating historical narratives. Outside of the classroom I led professional development workshops on online content management systems as well as best practices for diversifying narratives of history to include women and LGBTQ+ peoples.
