-
My teaching philosophy is grounded in equity, inclusivity, and active learning. Drawing on my work with the CSTA Equity Fellowship, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and CREDE鈥檚 Standards for Effective Pedagogy, I strive to create classrooms where all students feel a sense of belonging. I design student-centered curricula that connect concepts to real-world applications, with projects that mirror industry practices and emphasize collaboration, problem solving, and reflection. My approach balances rigor with support, helping students grow into independent, lifelong learners. I also support students in preparing for their careers by guiding them in drafting r茅sum茅s, building portfolios, and developing skills for job fairs and interviews. Ultimately, I see education as a process of co-constructing knowledge, cultivating curiosity, and empowering students to thrive.
