I primarily teach courses on international relations theory, security studies, and political and religious violence. I was named the 2011 Graduate Student Instructor of the Year by the Berkeley Undergraduate Political Science Association, and I have been awarded an Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Award from the Berkeley GSI Teaching and Resource Center. Courses I have taught are listed on the right. 

I also have significant experience advising and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. Each year, I train first-time Graduate Student Instructors at a conference organized by the Berkeley GSI Teaching and Resource Center. I have also supported undergraduate research at Berkeley through the Student Mentoring and Research Teams (SMART) Program and the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program.
