Teaching Style
My teaching style utilizes a strong experiential, solutions-based pedagogy. Students should expect to engage in real-world projects and problems in my courses and programs. In addition, I believe that teamwork is an essential professional skill that students need to learn during their education, and I utilize team-based learning in many of my offerings.
