Teaching Philosophy/Personal Statement:
My goal is to increase student success. I want my students to become lifelong learners and independent thinkers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and teachers. My teaching style is experiential and is adaptable to accommodate individual learning styles. In the classroom, I help students understand the subject matter and reach their future goals and encourage them to set their goals higher. My classroom is a learning workshop, where students are active participants. I find ways to enhance the enthusiasm of learning and improve their performance in the classroom. I enjoy watching students making a positive impact in the world.
