Profile
I am a creative and enthusiastic instructor who has a passion for teaching. This enthusiasm has inspired me to
develop innovative ways to maintain a high level of engagement in the history classroom and assist students in
having an outstanding learning experience by providing meaning to the past, and being able to relate it to the
future.

Teaching Philosophy
A judgement-free environment promotes both self-esteem and self-assurance, and is a key positive dynamic
for a student’s education and experience in the classroom. Implementing an atmosphere of openness to every
student’s opinion and idea will further develop the student’s confidence, abilities, and goals for their academic
future. These components are all critical to the learning process.
