TEACHING

I aim to embody a transformational teaching and leadership style inclusive of students across backgrounds, experiences, and educational needs. I strive to lead, mentor, and teach with strategies that inspire and motivate students, nourish their skills and intellectual curiosity, and build a vision of professional development and collective well-being.

​

Motivation and Engagement

​

My goal is to inspire students, creating a collaborative and inclusive classroom. I encourage participation, set a positive tone, and build relationships with students. I promote a growth mindset, value diverse perspectives, and reward both effort and performance. Students have provided feedback highlighting my ability to engage and support them, which is deeply gratifying and reinforces my commitment to these principles.

​

Tailored Feedback

​

I provide clear, constructive feedback tailored to individual student needs, fostering growth and intellectual curiosity. My feedback emphasizes improvement over mastery, meeting students where they are and helping them advance. Students have appreciated this approach, noting how it has aided their understanding and development of skills for their academic careers.

​

Tolerance and Perseverance Through Complexity

​

I encourage open-mindedness and patience when dealing with complex psychological phenomena. I promote critical thinking and small group discussions, helping students integrate new perspectives. Students have responded positively to this approach, appreciating the safe and respectful environment that supports their learning and growth.
