Students learn most eectively through self-discovery and experience, guided by teachers who are

passionately focused on student well-being. I aim to learn along side my students, facilitating a collaborative
group environment, where students learn to think and reason through problems together. Students who have
the ability to contribute meaningfully through shared experience will be better equipped to navigate
challenges and eect change.
