As an instructor, I aim to create learning environments that are inclusive, applied, and intellectually rigorous, where students develop the analytical judgment necessary to work in complex organizational settings. My teaching focuses on helping students understand how data shapes decisions, narratives, incentives, and systems.
At the Boston University School of Public Health, I teach courses including Digital Disruption in Health and Operations Management in Health Care where I emphasize analytics-informed decision-making, leadership under uncertainty, and the interpretation of data in real-world contexts.
A central goal of my teaching is to ensure students leave my courses with practical, career-ready skills they can immediately apply beyond the classroom. I design projects that simulate real-world analytic and organizational work, giving students hands-on experience with data analysis, systems thinking, and communicating findings to decision-makers. Many assignments are structured as professional deliverables that students can directly incorporate into resumes, portfolios, interviews, and future analytics or leadership roles.
Mentorship is also central to my approach. I work closely with graduate students and early-career professionals to support their growth in research, leadership, and professional development, often helping students prepare for interviews, refine professional materials, and build confidence in quantitative settings.
My teaching is guided by three core principles:
Relevance and Rigor – I connect theory to practice, drawing on my career in healthcare analytics and system transformation to bring abstract concepts to life.
Student-Centered Practice – I encourage curiosity, dialogue, and leadership development, tailoring my approach to the different experiences and goals students bring into the classroom.
Equity and Inclusion – I create space for all voices to be heard and intentionally weave questions of power, access, and inequity into the study of healthcare and policy.
