As a doctoral Teaching Assistant, I had the opportunity to lead two semesters of our undergraduate Maps and Mapmaking labs for about 30-40 students per semester. Each week my goal was to help students build confidence in their skills in creating and designing maps using both Adobe Illustrator and ArcGIS Pro.

As a doctoral Instructor of Record, I had the opportunity to lead four semesters of the Maps and Mapmaking course for 30 students each semester, hosting a series of lectures, activities, and exams that covered everything from the history of cartography, design theory, and spatial analysis in ArcGIS Pro.

Map design is my primary research interest and personal passion, so leading these labs and course materials was a wonderful opportunity to share this love for maps with the students as we inspire each other with new design techniques and understanding of the role of maps in our ever-evolving world.
