PHL 305/CTI 310/RS 305 Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion, Fall 2025
As Instructor of Record for this lower-division, in-person, three-credit course (cross-listed in Philosophy, Critical Texts and Ideas, and Religious Studies), I designed the syllabus, selected and organized the readings into a custom course packet, and was in charge of all aspects of classroom instruction. The cross-listing meant that the course brought together students from a wide range of academic backgrounds and interests, creating an especially dynamic classroom environment. I guided students in examining central issues in the philosophy of religion, including the concept of the divine, classical arguments for God’s existence, and puzzles about God’s relationship to the world.

As a Teaching Assistant for Professor Ray Buchanan in this lower-division course, I supported students in exploring key topics in epistemology (such as the questions about belief, truth, knowledge, and skepticism).

As a Teaching Assistant for Professor Tara Smith in this upper-division course, I supported students in exploring key questions about the nature, authority, and application of law.

As a Teaching Assistant for Professor Nicole Smith in an upper-division course cross-listed with Health and Society as HS 341, I supported students in examining the ethical, political, and legal issues surrounding medicine, society, and healthcare.

As a Teaching Assistant for Professor Connie Rosati in this upper-division course, I assisted students in examining key questions about the nature, authority, and application of law.

UGS 303 Philosophy and the Meaning of Life, Fall 2022 & Fall 2023
I was a Teaching Assistant for Professor Anat Schechtman twice in a university-wide first-year signature course. Professor Schechtman's course focused on contemporary issues and theories of well-being, introducing undergraduates to scholarly analysis from an interdisciplinary perspective. It included an introduction to University resources such as research facilities, museums, and various lectures or performances. Additionally, the course aimed to teach freshmen essential skills in writing academic pieces and engaging in scholarly discourse.
I’m always revising my teaching approach to keep it effective and engaging, which led me to pursue additional teaching workshops and pedagogy courses. As a result, I now hold a Teaching Certificate from The Center for Teaching and Learning at UT Austin.
