Teaching is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding aspects of my career. My overarching goal as a teacher is to guide students to contribute to real-world scientific issues—from becoming scientifically literate citizens to conducting research. Drawing on a learner-centered teaching philosophy, I empower students and equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to make a difference outside of the classroom. As a teacher, I strive to fulfill my goal using four primary methods:
Create an inclusive classroom environment
Cultivate critical thinking and scientific literacy
