University Teaching Experience:
  • Lecturer, Data Management for Social Science Research, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Spring 2021. The course, designed for undergraduates interested in social science research, introduces students to quantitative data management and basic programming. Topics include: data cleaning, documentation, recoding variables, descriptive statistics, dealing with missing data, merging and appending datasets, processing observations across subgroups, reshaping data, and programming for data management.
  • Teaching Assistant, Methods of Sociological Inquiry, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Spring 2018 - Fall 2020 (four semesters). I led bi-weekly seminar-style discussion sections with 30 students and graded assignments. The course introduces undergraduate students to sociological methods and covers research ethics, research design, sampling procedures, basic survey design, ethnographic methods, and interviewing.

"Sarah is hands down the best TA I have had at UW Madison. She always puts her students first and provides all essential materials to set students up to actually learn."--Student from Methods of Sociological Inquiry, Spring 2019

Other Teaching and Educational Experience
Prior to graduate school, I worked as a popular educator in Mexico, promoting awareness about labor rights and technological literacy with migrant workers and their families. Before that, I worked as a mentor, tutor, and classroom assistant with 7th and 8th graders in several Chicago Public Schools.
