My teaching style centers on active learning and innovation, which engages students in the knowledge-construction process. This approach helps accomplish course objectives and each student’s own learning goals.
I am from a family of educators. My father, grandfather, and uncle were professors, and my mom was a 5th-grade teacher. I saw the positive impact they had on the lives of their students and how those students contributed economically, socially, and culturally to the world. I wanted to have that same impact.
