Quite simply, I love teaching and learning. Whether through online, in-person, or hybrid/blended modalities, I am a skillful and reflective educator who incorporates student feedback and research evidence to make learning experiences meaningful, hands-on, and inclusive of, and for, all students. I am an advocate and champion for open education, diversity, equity, inclusion, decolonization, and social justice.

I believe everyone brings different perspectives and experiences to the class, and I invite and welcome students to share these with the class. It is through practice, individual reflection, small group activities, and group discussion that we are able to learn from our actions, deepen our understanding, and find connections between ideas in class and application in the real world.

I engage with every lesson, student, and class in a respectful and authentic manner. I strive to share my knowledge and experience in meaningful ways, and I actively and regularly engage in opportunities to improve my own teaching and communication skills, knowledge, and practices.

I believe that what happens in my classroom is a shared responsibility. I regularly invite feedback from students so that I may better tailor my teaching to their needs and experiences, and I respectfully hold students accountable for their own learning responsibilities.
