Throughout my life, my love of learning has been a driving force in both my professional and personal life.
My family of educators fostered a deep appreciation for lifelong learning and as a student myself, I have always felt at home in the classroom. As an aspiring professor, I intentionally strive to create an inclusive and encouraging learning environment for all of my students. I have experience teaching using both face-to-face and distributed learning modalities.
