I have a strong teaching background. During my professional career, I delivered technical training for engineers, and in my Ph.D. program, I received formal pedagogical training in higher education and in teaching statistics/data analytics. In Spring 2024, I taught a Sustainable Supply Chain and Operations Management course, earning a 5.75/6 rating and a school-wide Ph.D. student teaching award. With my experience and training I am prepared to teach core courses in supply chain and operations or statistics/data analytics, as well as electives like process improvement, lean thinking, and sustainable operations at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
