Teaching

Teaching Philosophy

I believe that science is for everyone, therefore my teaching philosophy revolves around inclusivity and belonging to help minimize barriers and better the experiences for my students. I also believe that learning is an individualized journey, in which I am the facilitator. I use a student-centered approach and evidence-based teaching practices to build strong connections to content and foster confidence in STEM for students.
I am a lifelong learner who not only loves teaching the next generation, but I also love learning from them. My own learning journey has not been linear, and my experiences demonstrate that learning takes practice. Ultimately, I want students to embrace their learning journey, have a growth mindset, and always stay curious!
