Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is based on my experience as an academic advisor. I learned to build relationships with our diverse student population, and I have brought those skills into the classroom. Teaching course material is paramount, but I believe true teaching begins by building relationships with my students. I endeavor to create an engaging classroom environment where students feel free to ask questions and share their opinions. To support student engagement, I incorporate various teaching aids, such as Kahoot! and Pear Deck, into class meetings. By teaching from a holistic perspective, my goal is not only to support student learning but also to encourage my students to develop skills that extend beyond the classroom.
