My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating an interactive, student-centered environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. I guide students to explore new ideas, develop skills relevant to their lives and future careers, and challenge their assumptions, while providing personalized feedback to foster both academic and personal growth.

Teaching ENGL1101 and 1102, I prioritized compassion and connection with students, especially those facing learning or mental health challenges, fostering their engagement through personalized support and structured, interactive lessons. By focusing on self-reflection and real-world applications of writing, I aim to inspire students to become effective communicators and critical thinkers, preparing them for academic and career success.
