Pedagogy

Teaching

My teaching philosophy centers on care, cultural relevance, and student agency. I aim to create learning environments where students feel respected and intellectually challenged, and where course concepts connect to students' lived experiences.

I prioritize dialogue, reflection, and inclusive pedagogy to support critical thinking, confidence, and a sense of belonging in every classroom I inhabit.
