Teaching Philosophy

Effective teaching requires actively engaging students with sociological theory and research. Adapting to the unique needs within my classes and ensuring that students are equipped with the tools they need to succeed are central to this and require maintaining high expectations of both myself and my students. Learning is a collaborative process, and, as the instructor, I am responsible for creating a holding environment where all students feel empowered to lead with their curiosity.
