My teaching career in higher education spans almost fifteen years, including nine years as a tenure-track/tenured faculty member at the University of South Carolina Aiken prior to my current position as Associate Professor at Misericordia University.
My teaching style emphasizes high-impact learning practice and active learning among my students. In past years, my classes polled the surrounding county during two federal elections and won awards in mock trial competition. At Misericordia Univeristy, I am a generalist, teaching primarily American politics and policy.
