I am a creative and innovative teacher who enjoys interactive classrooms where students thrive. I emphasize community building and engagement in all my classes. I teach courses in the field of International Relations, popular culture, and more recently--AI. 

My scholarship focuses on the field of critical security studies, and in particular on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. However, in recent years I have shifted to research and publish in the field of teaching and learning, combining my passion for teaching with my scholarship. 

My favorite course to teach is the "Politics of Game of Thrones" which combines all my interests: international relations, popular culture, and AI! 

I am a die hard Red Sox and Patriots fan, I love to travel and am grateful that my line of work affords me the ability to learn more about the world around me in new and exciting ways.
