Teaching

Teaching Philosophy

Teaching is an art that ignites passion, fosters engagement, and shapes future thinkers. I create an inclusive, engaging space where students can bridge abstract economic theories with tangible real-world insights. Courses I have enjoyed teaching include Principles of Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, Intermediate Macroeconomics, and Economic and Business Statistics. I am also interested in teaching courses such as International Economics, Applied Labor Economics, Demographic Economics, and Applied Econometrics.

Teaching Evaluation

Teaching evaluation from my most recent independent course is provided: ECO402 in Summer 2022. Additional teaching evaluations are available upon request.
