During my career, I have taught more than 20 different undergraduate and graduate courses. My teaching experiences include large lecture courses (e.g., Introductory Social Psychology, Foundational Experiences in Psychology), undergraduate seminars (e.g., Joy, Meangingful Lives, and Well-being, The Social Psychology of Crises), and graduate seminars (e.g., Social Cognition, Intergroup Relations, Attitudes and Persuasion, The Self in Interconnected Contexts, Professional Development). In addition to traditional classroom contexts, I have developed courses ranging from large-scale, on-line delivery (e.g., Introductory Psychology) to in-field graduate courses conducted in UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Mentorship is another important aspect of my academic identity. Overall, I have supervised more than 300 undergraduate research assistants in my lab, chairing more than 20 senior thesis projects (several published in top journals). More than 80% of research assistants from my lab go directly to graduate studies following graduation, and three of them are now tenured psychology professors. In terms of graduate training, I have chaired more than 25 dissertation and master's thesis projects, with my advisees going on to tenured positions at top universities and to accomplished careers in industry.

In addition to academic teaching and mentorship, I have offerred classes and training workshops in contexts that include the National Science Foundation Academy, Miami's College of Arts and Science academic advisors, and Miami's Winter College program for alumni. Finally, I oversaw a Miami Faculty Learning Community to support department chairs and their professional development, and I served as a Mid-American Conference Academic Leadership Fellow.
