Teaching Philosophy

As an educator and theatre artist, my teaching is rooted in equity, engagement, and creative exploration. Drawing from my experiences in both traditional and non-traditional learning environments, I focus on fostering student autonomy, critical thinking, and personal growth. I believe, as Adrienne Maree Brown says in Emergent Strategy, "What we pay attention to grows." This principle guides my approach, emphasizing student strengths and cultivating curiosity and creativity in every learning space.

I am committed to co-developing spaces where students feel safe to explore, ask questions, and take risks, whether they're engaging in face-to-face, hybrid, or virtual modalities. My teaching integrates a variety of methods, including arts integration, drama-based pedagogy, object based learning, and technology-enhanced learning, to adapt to individual learning styles.

Ultimately, I aim to guide students on their own journeys of discovery, helping them develop the confidence and critical perspectives they need to navigate the world.
