 Teaching Philosophy
I strive to create a comfortable, safe, and inviting classroom which maintains a strong
community where all students are encouraged to discover themselves through exploration
and curiosity. I believe all students must feel welcome to be themselves through all
accomplishments inside and outside of the classroom. My students should feel my
support through personal and academic achievements.
