Teaching and Research Experience
Teaching Philosophy
I have had the pleasure of teaching both during my graduate training and now at Tulane University. I taught students who challenged me every day to become a better instructor. As a first-generation college student myself, I strongly believe in supporting my students through empowerment. As an educator, I am always willing to work with my students so they can achieve their learning goals and relate the course content with their lived experiences. This is how I believe students can effectively convert the information they receive into knowledge that is relevant to them, and that is what the college experience is all about.
