Information
Teaching is my passion. I enjoy intellectually challenging my students while simultaneously learning new things from them. Regardless of the mode in which instruction is conducted (online, hybrid, or in-person), I use a variety of teaching mediums, such as videos and demonstrations, and active learning activities to help my students learn about the topic at hand. Both in and out of my classroom, I encourage my students to apply what they learn in my courses to the real-world. Additionally, I am committed to creating a personalized, inclusive, and supportive learning environment. I genuinely care about my students and am truly committed to their success.
In addition to teaching, I serve as the faculty adviser for the SFC Psychology Club. I also enjoy mentoring student research projects for the RUE Festival.
