After three years of teaching at a private Catholic college, I returned to graduate school at the University of California, Riverside in the Political Science program. My dissertation focuses on rebuilding militaries after ethnic conflict, how the military can aid in statebuilding, and identity formation.
My major fields are Comparative Politics and International Relations. I have taught as instructor of record or as a Teaching Assistant in a variety of classes in both of these fields.
