My teaching philosophy

My purpose as an instructor is to guide students to be critical thinkers and continuous life-long learners, who actively engage with and share information with others. To achieve this first requires cultivating a classroom space of belongingness and inclusion, where students from all backgrounds feel safe and encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas openly. My three goals for students are to become critical consumers of data and statistics, transparently apply their skills within and outside the classroom, and share their knowledge with others.
