Back in elementary school, I already knew I wanted to be a teacher. This feeling was strengthened by great experiences in middle and high schools, and by the educational environment in my family. It is a great pleasure and privilege to be teaching at IC. (There was a brief period when I wanted to be a pastry chef, but we can talk about that another time.)

The following courses have been in my rotation and I invite anyone who is interested to ask for more information.

- Food and Water: Challenges to Sustainability

- European Politics

- International Organizations

- Catholics and Politics

- The European Union

- Political Parties and Ideologies

- Comparative Welfare State

- Introduction to US Politics
 

I am the advisor to the Ithaca College Model United Nations team and the Model European Union team. Go to those sites from the Politics Dept. homepage for more info.

Study abroad has enriched my life enormously, and I strongly recommend that undergraduates take advantage of the opportunities offered by IC to do the same. Please ask me about a new course over Block II and the Winter Break (2019-20) about diversity and integration in Brussels, Belgium.
