Teaching

My teaching is built around two ideas: connecting economic concepts to students’ own lives, and learning by doing. I engage students by showing them that economic reasoning is already embedded in their everyday decisions, and use that as a foundation for building more rigorous intuition. I have experience with a wide variety of economics courses, modes of teaching, and student abilities.
