Teaching

I use a caring and inclusive teaching style to create a welcoming environment that effectively supports all students in their learning and beyond. My teaching is guided by three core practices: (1) using enjoyment to facilitate student engagement, (2) supporting students through the learning process, and (3) helping students develop the professional skills they need to succeed.

I have implemented inclusive teaching practices in both in-person and synchronous online course modalities and taught diverse groups of undergraduate and graduate students. I am also constantly learning how I can better support students’ personal and professional development through student feedback and participation in teaching workshops.
