My ambition is to provide the same foundation for students to achieve their goals with the same enthusiasm and respect that was given to me. With my student-first pedagogy, my goal is to help develop practical skills and critical thinking within the context of my subject. I have taught and researched a wide variety of topics: U.S., World, U.S. West, Latin America, California, 20th Century World Conflict, Film, American Art, Digital Media, and many more!
