Biography
My teaching philosophy starts by always remembering what it felt like to sit where my students are sitting today. I constantly work on creating an environment that celebrates inclusion, where students can feel safe to learn without judgment. Being able to connect classroom theory with the reality of the workplace is an invaluable component of my instruction. Since theory exits, there must be a reason for it, and when it does not match reality, I challenge my students to think critically to discover meaning and understanding to find solutions for problems. I believe in teaching the basic foundational skills. Conceptual, teaching the value of decision-making in problematic situation, technical, teaching physical execution of job duties, and interpersonal, teaching students the value of self-awareness, social-emotional intelligence and their relationship to approachability and relatability when dealing with others. I believe in casting the shadow of leadership I want to walk in myself.
