My Teaching Philosophy: I wholeheartedly believe that every student has the ability to succeed; accordingly, I aim within my role as an instructor to provide each student the tools needed to reach their desired level of performance. Via lecture, I seek to not only deliver concepts in a manner comprehendible across levels, but to further emphasize the practical importance of such concepts in day-to-day life. Through the use of accessible examples and interactive activities, I seek to maximize student engagement and optimize learning via versatile methodologies.
I have had the opportunity to exercise my teaching philosophy as an instructor in both large lecture environments (PSY 210- Psychology of Individual in context; PSY 340; Organizational Psychology) as well as small group seminars (PSY 644- Advanced Organizational Psychology; PSY 792- Diversity in Organizations). I was honored to be nominated for the Colorado State University Best Teacher Award in 2024. Please see below my current and upcoming courses at Colorado State University.
Current Courses: Organizational Psychology (Online PSY 340- Summer 2026)
Upcoming Courses: Organizational Psychology (PSY 340/341- Fall 2026); Advanced Organizational Psychology (PSY 644- Fall 2026)
I have mentored both graduate and undergraduate students as they completed independent projects within the contexts of Senior Honors Theses, Summer Research Opportunities Programs, and graduate-level thesis and dissertation milestones. As a mentor, I aim to guide students as they acquire and confidently refine research-related skills applicable to their personal post-graduation goals. I am a Graduate Center for Inclusive Mentoring (GCIM) faculty mentor, with training on supporting the unique needs and challenges each student brings toward personal skill development and goal achievement.
