Summary

During my time at Carnegie Mellon, I have contributed to several undergraduate and graduate courses (see the list below) and mentored multiple students (see the CV in my vitae).

Since teaching has been so inspiring to me, I have completed the Eberly Center's Future Faculty Program. This program helped me develop my personal teaching philosophy of learning games, which you can read about in my teaching statement.
