Political science instructor specializing in ethics, compliance, and leadership.
What I'm looking for
I am a political science professional with a Master of Science in Political Science who integrates a biblically informed Christian worldview into instruction and professional practice. I bring extensive experience in ethics, compliance, public administration, and adult online instruction, focused on maintaining academic rigor and promoting student-centered engagement.
Across roles in county government, state corrections, and the U.S. Army, I have led and mentored learners and staff, developed and delivered curricula on leadership and emergency response, and enforced regulatory compliance and ethical standards. I emphasize ethical decision-making, accountability, and clear professional communication in both teaching and operational contexts.
I am committed to designing structured online and virtual training programs, providing timely assessment and feedback, and maintaining detailed records to support learner retention and success. My approach centers on mentorship, practical application, and fostering integrity in public service.
