When I was a graduate student, I had the privilege to serve as a lecture instructor for algebra-based Introductory Physics 101 at West Virginia University in Spring 2022, where I designed course materials, delivered lectures, conducted tests, and supervised TAs. In addition, I have served as a graduate teaching assistant for a long time, from Fall 2016 to Spring 2022.  Additional details are given below.
