Three basic tenets guide my teaching:

  1. I implement pedagogical best practices because I care about teaching well;
  2. I foster a supportive learning environment because I want every student to have confidence in their ability to succeed;
  3. and I promote students’ holistic development because I want my courses to benefit students beyond the final exam.

While I have experience teaching effectively, I follow education research and attend conferences and workshops to continue improving my teaching practice.
