While at the University of Maine, I taught undergraduate courses in microeconomic theory and applications, including labour economics, health economics and the economics capstone. I also mentored undergraduate and graduate student research in economics, food and nutrition sciences, and public health. I am proud to have supported the development of scholars and practitioners in these areas.
When teaching and mentoring, I embrace the best practices developed by the American Economic Association for Building a More Diverse, Inclusive, and Productive Profession. I implement these best practices using evidence-based approaches with emphasis on: (1) teaching in the context of students’ diverse backgrounds and interests, while fostering an inclusive learning environment; and (2) facilitating active learning and research experiences to develop transferrable knowledge and skills. The latter includes helping students explore academic and non-academic career prospects, and connecting them with people and opportunities to pursue next steps.
