My teaching philosophy is centered on the core tenets of flexibility, inclusivity, and empathy. In alignment with these values, in any course that I teach, my objectives are: 

1) To facilitate an inclusive, student-centered classroom space that individualizes learning experiences while actively encouraging a diversity of perspectives 

2) To create an interactive environment that prioritizes learning through engagement with the scientific process 

3) To make complex scientific information accessible and inspire critical thinking and inquisitiveness about the natural world in students
