Over the course of my education I have become passionate about education and teaching mathematics. 

My philosophy of teaching mathematics seeks to balance lecture with modern research of active learning techniques to create an engaging experience for my students while leaving room for them to take charge of their own learning. 

I am also passionate about helping students correct use AI in the classroom, as this seems to be (an unavoidable) resource that is prone to misuse.

The following inform my opinion on the matters of active learning, and AI use.
