Teaching

For the past 10 years I have taught both undergraduate and graduate courses at UF. From 1998-2000 I worked as an assistant at the University Center for Excellence in Teaching, which provided a strong foundation of skills and knowledge.

My teaching is interdisciplinary and spans the social sciences. In Sociology I have taught introductory courses such as Principles of Sociology, Social Problems, and Families & Marriages. I have also taught upper level classes including Society & the Individual, Sociology of Women and Development of Sociological Thought. I have created new courses like Professional Development for Sociology Students and the Sociology of Youth & Emerging Adulthood. I am an affiliate member of the Center for Women's Studies and Gender Research and regularly teach their introductory course, Interdisciplinary Perspectives of Women.

In 2005 I partnered with Professor Emeritus Arnie Heggestad in the Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation to begin offering courses on Social Entrepreneurship for graduate students, undergraduate honors students, and even high schoolers through the UF Young Entrepreneurs for Leadership & Sustainability Summer Program.

I have completed numerous course preps including:

•Enhancing the Freshman Experience
•Principles of Sociology (Honors)
