Philosophy for Teaching: “I believe that students should feel comfortable in a learning environment. I like to provide students with a safe, welcoming, relaxed, and structured class because that is the key to student participation. When students know and see that you are prepared, they can expect the learning objectives of the class and it can reduce anxiety students may have about the class. Along with that, I encourage students to take risks and have fun.”
