TEACHING PORTFOLIO
UNIVERSITY TEACHING, SPRING 2025
I am very grateful to share that as part of the doctoral program, I’ve completed my Master of Philosophy (MPhil) at Columbia University. As I begin my fourth year, I’m entering the dissertation phase, where my research focuses on Black Feminist Performance and its connections to policy and reform on an international scale 🌍📚
Over the past year, I also had the privilege of teaching an intensive writing course to 28 first-year students—an experience that deepened my commitment to pedagogy and collective discourse. These students were the highlight of my experience, and I very much look forward to continuing this journey in the months ahead!
UNIVERSITY TEACHING, FALL 2024
I’m incredibly grateful to have completed my first semester teaching writing at Columbia University, focusing on Race and Ethnicity.
Engaging with the works of scholars like Dorothy Roberts and Kimberlé Crenshaw and amplifying voices often erased throughout history has been a dream come true.
My students’ thoughtfulness and willingness to tackle challenging material reminded me why I love this work. I’m excited to see what next semester brings! 📚✍🏾
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHING, SUMMER 2022 & 2023
Excited and grateful to have taught research skills to high school students based in NYC with The New Community Project, a transformational education program focused on increasing advocacy efforts in the Bronx.
Focusing on the Harlem Renaissance and James Baldwin's first novel, "Go Tell it on the the Mountain," I look forward to exploring this pivotal era with these bright young minds.
