My passion for teaching is based on a simple concept: I am only successful if my students are successful. A successful student is not one who receives an A, but one who has been challenged, engaged, stretched and experiences new learning which they can apply to real world situations. This is driven by four core values regarding my teaching and professional responsibilities.

  1. Diverse teaching methods and approaches
  2. Student engagement and action
  3. Challenge and mentor their current state
  4. Teach beyond the content
