I teach courses in the Intelligence Analysis program at James Madison University, covering areas such as ethics, strategy assessment, and research methods. My goal is to equip students with the practical skills and critical thinking they need to excel in complex, real-world environments.
Teaching Approach
My focus is on ensuring students understand the core material. I use a variety of teaching methods—from structured lectures to open discussion formats—to make the content accessible and engaging for all students.
I work to give students opportunities to apply what they’ve learned to new problems. Assignments are designed to challenge students to think critically and use their knowledge in real-world scenarios.
While I have a clear plan for each semester, I adapt my teaching to meet students’ needs, allowing space to dive deeper into complex topics and adjust to the class’s pace.
