TEACHING
As an educator it is my mission to foster curiosity and experimentation, communicate with physical, verbal, and written clarity, and serve the individual needs of a diverse student body. I curate learning environments that inspire self examination, a willingness to take risks, and a desire to situate one's thoughts and actions in relationship to those of the community at large. I am a patient, flexible, and approachable person and am proud of my ability to attune to the needs of students and create a space that is welcoming to folks of all backgrounds.
