She works relentlessly to engage students in the course material and to equip them with the skills necessary to succeed. She builds her classroom philosophy on the premise that the most effective instrument a teacher has is passion for the material. She has been a teaching assistant and guest lecturer for Renaissance and Baroque, Drama of the Baroque, Introduction to Art History, and Early Modern London, and instructor of record for Sex and Gender in Renaissance Art. With a profound level of commitment to pedagogy, she has developed a loyal following of students because she takes an interest in them and their successes, employs different strategies in the classroom and is able to explain difficult concepts and themes to students with various learning styles.
