I hold two masters degrees in education: one from Relay Graduate School of Education in New York and another from the Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education in Boston. I have taught at the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels.
At Wash U, I taught a first-year seminar on “US Diasporic Cultures” in Fall 2024. In Fall 2025, I taught the course “Jewish American Theater and Performance.”
At Berkeley, I taught courses entitled “Jewish and Black-ish: ‘Race Relations’ in American Literature” and “Audio Texts: Reading and/as Listening since 1930,” in addition to TA-ing courses on early American literature, contemporary literature, and modern poetry.
I have also taught creative writing at McKinley High School Juvenile Detention center in Martinez, CA, as part of the New Literary Project.
For three years, I ran the public humanities initiative “Read-Along with Berkeley English,” a Facebook group of 500+ members that connects Berkeley English courses to the global public. I moderated monthly “office hours” with members and Berkeley professors.
I lead book clubs in connection Book Passage Marin in Corte Madera, CA and Left Bank Books in St. Louis, MO. We read mostly contemporary fiction.
I currently maintain a private tutoring practice, in which I work with students at the high school, collegiate, and graduate levels. You can sign up for a 30-minute free consult here.
