My teaching philosophy prioritizes experiential learning. I bridge the gap between theory and practice through projects, interactive activities, and field experiences, empowering students to actively engage with course material.
Evident in my record is a steadfast commitment to professional development. Through certifications, workshops, and participation in relevant conferences, I continuously enhance my pedagogical skills and expertise to better serve my students and the broader academic community.
I believe in fostering collaborative learning environments both within and beyond the classroom. Through collaboration with colleagues, students, and community partners, I co-plan conferences, events, and initiatives aimed at promoting student success and advancing social justice.
My teaching philosophy centers on creating inclusive spaces that amplify diverse voices and perspectives. By incorporating diverse experiences and backgrounds into the curriculum, I work to strongly encourage students to critically examine complex issues and become agents of change in their communities.
