My approach to teaching revolves around participatory methods that are accessible to students from varying educational, social, and economic backgrounds. I believe college classrooms are a unique opportunity for students to learn not only from the instructor but also from one another. Hence, I prioritize interactive learning approaches, such as classroom discussion and catered assignments (i.e. data analysis on basketball statistics for a cohort of students who are really into March Madness). Moreover, I maintain flexibility throughout the semester, welcoming feedback and making adjustments as needed to ensure an optimal learning experience for all students.
