Teaching Philosophy

I believe that any moment can be an opportunity to learn. I embrace diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, and strive to create collaborative environments that suit an individual learner's needs. Learning is lifelong.  I recognize that the relationship between myself and learners can be reciprocal and ongoing.
