WHY I WANTED TO TEACH THIS CLASS

Teaching brings me tremendous joy. As an alumna of the AU Honors Program, I know firsthand how enriching an Honors experience can be, and I love being part of that for our students. The course itself builds on my research and legal experience, particularly as it relates to challenging questions centered on the intersections of fundamental rights and liberties.

Fun fact: 

I lived in Anderson and Letts Halls as an undergraduate.
