In 2025 I received the Alumni Board of Trustees Teaching Award, given to one assistant professor at UVA each year. Click here for the UVA Today news story.

I am currently co-developing a new lecture course called "The Rise of Bread: A Deep History" with Prof. Ali Guler in the Department of Biology, for which we received a Science & Society course co-design grant> from the College of Arts and Sciences at UVA.

From fall 2024 to spring 2026, I am teaching as part of the Engagements program for first-year students at UVA.

• EGMT 1520: "Information and Democracy" (fall 2024, spring 2025, fall 2025)
• EGMT 1520: "Sourdough" (spring 2026)
