I am passionate about using teaching to translate rigorous and nuanced research in ways that help students engage deeply with the material and connect it to the real world. I have extensive experience teaching students with a wide range of backgrounds and prior exposure to course topics within the same classroom. Across economics and strategy courses, I have taught undergraduates, graduate students, accelerated high school students, and nontraditional students, both in person and virtually. These experiences have deepened my commitment to creating learning environments where students can wrestle seriously with complex ideas and see why they matter.

"Ana was warm and engaging. She broke down the material in a way that was easier for me to understand. She took time to go through equations, and she gave relevant examples of the concepts discussed in class. [S]he is very knowledgeable and clearly a content–area expert. She was very patient even for those of us who were new to the field. THANK YOU!!! **PLEASE GIVE HER A RAISE**"
"She was available outside of class time to discuss research project ideas, give feedback on problem sets, and help with the midterm. She did an amazing job and was extremely kind. I cannot give her any higher compliments. I appreciate her interest in the course and helping teach us labor economics over the summer."
"She did everything perfectly. She, along with other responsibilities as researcher, was really helpful."
"Ana was extremely kind and friendly and always made a point to let us know that we could go to her for help whenever. She was also very good at answering questions and helped to clarify all my doubts."
"Ana led the sections in a way that made the course material very clear. She also always answered all of my questions and helped me understand the harder part of the syllabus."
"Ana is amazing. She managed to reinforce the concepts we learnt in class, explain things that were not covered in sections."
"Ana's detailed explanations of the empirical methods taught in the main lectures made it very easy to attempt the assignments. She is also incredibly kind and helpful!"
