Teaching Statement.

Teaching is the paramount learning process, and students are my greatest teachers. Students are the center of learning, and often the teachers. I use a variety of instructional methods to create student-centered learning environments including flipped classrooms and project-driven courses. As an educator, I understand the need to develop well-rounded ethically minded global citizens and provide support to individuals embarking on new chapters of life. Thus, I incorporate research ethics, and diversity training in my curriculum and instruction.
