Teaching/Teaching Awards
 

My first teaching experience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was as a teaching assistant in a large Introduction to Economics class in the spring of 2001. I was responsible for teaching weekly recitations and providing review sessions and individual help for over 90 students. This appointment continued in the Fall of 2001 and Spring of 2002. Based on student nominations from both Fall 2001 and Spring 2002 semesters I was awarded The Vijay Bhagavan Award for Best Principles Teaching Assistant in May 2002. In the Summer of 2002 I went on to teach my own principles of economics course. In the years since, I have designed and taught five different independent courses:

  • Introduction to Economics
  • Applied Microeconomics
  • Microeconomic Theory
  • International Economics
  • Topics in International Economics
During this time I won several other teaching awards. In 2003 I won The Tanner Graduate Teaching Assistant Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, a prestigious university wide award received by only five graduate students each year. I also won The Economics Department Best Teaching Fellow Award in both 2003 and 2004.
