TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
“We’ve all had memorable teachers in our lives. Some were a positive force, others were not. As a teacher of future teachers, I try my best to model and instill in my students positive teacher dispositions such as a love of learning, humor, patience, and accountability.”

About
- Assistant Professor of Education
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
“I love the look in a student’s eye when they get a concept or when they realize what a passion they have for a subject. My goals as an educator are to inspire students to experience success, to encourage students to be lifelong learners and to spark a fire in prospective teachers to be excited about what their future holds.”
