Teaching, for me, is a performance in the largest sense: an act of collaborative worldmaking, in real time. Since 2012, I have taught at the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels. Across these settings, I strive to make collaboration and student voice central to my pedagogical practice.
College
As adjunct assistant professor at Brooklyn College, I teach English 1010, the university’s introductory writing curriculum. My courses introduce students to writing as a practice of self-fashioning through three units: personal narrative, analysis, and argumentation.
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.” Across the 2025-2026 year, I led the year-long Graduate Student Publication Workshop, sponsored by the Center for the Humanities.
At Berkeley, I taught courses across the fields of Literary Studies and Performance Studies, in addition to TA-ing courses on early American literature, contemporary literature, and modern poetry.
Secondary
At Achievement First Bushwick Middle School, I taught sixth-grade writing to three classes of thirty students, daily. As a Match Teacher Resident, I taught and tutored AP English and AP Language and Composition. I hold two master’s 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. Across all secondary contexts, I am always coaching soccer!
Public Initiatives
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.
