In my first year as Assistant Professor, I have been teaching First Year Writing, upper-division courses in professional and technical writing, and graduate courses in composition theory and PTW. You are invited to view my syllabi and materials here:
- Foundations of Professional and Technical Writing (MENG6140) – Spring 2025 (Block II)
- Teaching College Writing & Teaching Practicum (MENG6822 & 6823) – Spring 2025
- Introduction to College Writing (ENGL1010) – Spring 2025
- Digital Writing Technologies (ENGL3130) – Fall 2024
- Professional & Technical Writing (ENGL3100) – Fall 2024
As I transition into faculty life, my graduate teaching experience will become less relevant, but here it is for now:
- At Purdue University, I’ve taught five sections of ENGL106 Introductory Composition: two hyflex, two online asynchronous, and one face-to-face.
- At Oregon State University, I taught four sections of WR121 English Composition and one section of WR222 English Composition and Argumentation.
In addition to teaching, I’ve gotten to hold some exciting positions in writing program administration and mentoring:
- At Purdue University, I served as Assistant Director of Composition (AY22-23), after a year as Assessment Research Coordinator for Composition (AY21-22).
- At Oregon State University, I was the GTA for the Writing Intensive Curriculum (AY19-20) after being an intern (AY18-19), and I was a Composition Assistant for the Writing Program (AY19-20).
In my teaching philosophy, you can read a little about how I see these positions come together to make me a better teacher, and in my student feedback, you can get a sense of how my students experience my classroom.
