Teaching Philosophy:
I enjoy teaching because of the students I meet, and the different perspectives we are able to share together as a class. Adult learners can expect real-life, applicable discussions in my classes, in which they can pull from their own professional experiences. I believe in making the learning relevant to their current position, and to their future professional goals.
