Teaching

We are home to thinking, being, doing and leading around ethical global leadership practices. The Staley School is not just about what leadership is or requires, but about shifting and engaging mindsets, practices and dispositions that invite more people to engage, to explore, to practice and to deepen leadership. I teach LEAD 450, the capstone course in the leadership studies minor. My focus is on high classroom engagement and connecting leadership learning to cases from current events. I also teach an advanced qualitative research methods course in discourse analysis. My focus is on educational discourse as a way to make sense of policy.

More about me

I love Yin Yoga. I am all in for the slowness, the intentional movement and breath, and the mindful practice. I balance that with cycling (but only stationary bikes), and lifting weights. I spend a lot of time with my three sons and partner watching and playing soccer, reading, and laughing at our magical cat Kit. I am a Midwesterner but from a much harsher climate, northern IL. Catch me reading, many books, all the time, and all at once.
