In the classroom

Teaching

I regularly teach classes about US politics as well as about party leaders and applied quantitative methods. I also supervise BA seminar papers and provide R support at both BA and MA level.

During my time as a high school teacher, I was awarded the NVLM-Prize for the best series of lessons in civics.
