Courses I’ve Taught:

During my time at UCSB (from 2020 through 2026), I had the honor of serving as a Teaching Associate for six quarters across four different classes. Teaching Associate is a title given to graduate students who are serving as the sole and primary instructor for a given course. Duties as a Teaching Associate include: creation of course content (lectures, homework assignments, lab handouts, etc.), managing TAs, and issuing final letter grades.

As a proponent of open-source teaching, most of my material from when I teach courses remains publicly accessible through a series of GitHub pages (linked below).

If you would like to adopt any of my material for your course, please contact me first. In general, I am happy to share my source material with you - I mainly only ask for attribution. Thank you!


Courses I’ve TA’d:

I also had the privilege of serving as both a Teaching Assistant (TA) as well as a Head TA across several courses. As a Head TA, duties include: assisting the instructor in course creation, managing course TAs and ULAs (Undergraduate Learning Assistants), and also teaching one Discussion/Lab Section.


Lead TA

For the final three years in my time at UCSB, I also served as the Lead TA for the PSTAT department. As part of this role, I ran PSTAT 501, our department’s designated Teaching Assistant Training course, in Fall and Winter quarter. Over the course of this two-quarter class, new graduate students learn the basics of statistical pedagogy, are connected with on-campus resources, and given tools to succeed as thriving Teaching Assistants for the PSTAT department.
