In this role, I planned events, conducted workshops, facilitated discussion groups, supported new faculty, and helped plan multiple CTE events. Additionally, I offered classroom observation and consultation services to faculty across campus, providing feedback on their teaching, and evidence-based resources to improve their effectiveness.

Transcribed interviews and interpreted research study in the Farmer School of Business to ascertain the experience of international students writing at Miami as part of a team research project through the Howe Writing Initiative. Initial research led to follow-up questions and surveys involving both domestic and international students, specifically focusing on cross-cultural communication and recommendations for improving dialog and team writing experiences.
