Teaching Experience
Fall 2025, In-person, 33 students
This course offers a rigorous exploration of macroeconomic theory with a special focus on economic growth and the business cycle. We begin with a brief refresher on key macro indicators—GDP, unemployment, and inflation—then move to long-run growth models and an in-depth study of short-run dynamics before turning to modern macroeconomic models. Combining these frameworks with key economic concepts, we will evaluate policy prescriptions and their consequences, emphasizing the connection between theory and empirical evidence.

This course covers both microeconomic and macroeconomic topics. In microeconomics, students will learn about market fundamentals, including supply and demand, consumer and firm behavior, government roles, and market interactions. In macroeconomics, students will explore key indicators like production, unemployment, and inflation. By the end of the course, students will understand how markets function and apply core economic principles to real-world decision-making. They will also be able to evaluate the broader effects of policy decisions on national economic stability and growth.

This course explores statistical techniques used in economics and business, covering essential concepts like mean and standard error. It focuses on regression analysis, estimation, and forecasting. Students will learn to conduct regression analysis in Excel using real-world projects and datasets. They’ll evaluate outcomes, interpret regression coefficients, and produce detailed reports using these statistical tools.
Teaching Philosophy
Teaching is an art that ignites passion, fosters engagement, and shapes future thinkers. I create an inclusive, engaging space where students can bridge abstract economic theories with tangible real-world insights. I have taught at the University of Kentucky as an independent instructor and at Elon University as an assistant professor. The courses I have enjoyed teaching include Principles of Microeconomics, Principles of Macroeconomics, Intermediate Macroeconomics, and Economic and Business Statistics. For your reference, I’ve included the teaching evaluation from one of my recent courses: ECO 402, Summer 2022
