Teaching Philosophy
The role of a good teacher mirrors that of a good researcher: they communicate information to help others make informed decisions. In age of information overload, it is essential to learn to think critically, problem-solve analytically, and communicate effectively. My goal is to encourage students of all ages to take a more active role in the learning process by providing evidenced-based learning opportunities with real-world applications.
