In addition to university teaching experience,I have a worked with Duke University’s Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP), the University of Georgia’s Torrance Center, and similar programs since summer 2012.  These programs aim to bring together gifted middle school and high school students for an intensive college-like experience. As an instructor for these courses, I was responsible for all course design and course material. These courses are academically rigorous but also highly interactive.

I have designed and taught courses ranging from an international relations course for Indian middle school students to weekend courses on social science and humanities topics such stem cell research and the television series The West Wing.
