I find it deeply fulfilling to share with students what powerful tools economics provides to make sense of complex real-world developments.  My teaching philosophy is rooted in recognition that students arrive at economics courses with widely varying goals and aptitudes.  A well-run course should deepen each student's appreciation for thinking about the world in this way and their capacity to do so.  I try to facilitate that growth by providing students as clear a roadmap as possible for meeting their individual goals and being an accessible collaborator in their success.  For more details, see my teaching statement.
