My teaching philosophy is to provide students a meaningful learning experience to support their professional and academic goals. Students are challenged to use critical thinking, communication, and organizational skills in all of my courses. It is my hope that students exit my classroom gaining the knowledge and empowerment they need to succeed in their future career path.
