Teaching Style
Being an educator takes care, intention, and cultural humility. I strive to create a safe, supportive learning community where multiple voices and truths can be present at the same time and where we practice critical reasoning and creative problem-solving skills, question assumptions, listen deeply, and make room for complexity and nuance. I am especially invested in experiential learning and learning from the lived experiences of people in our families and communities.
