Teaching Philosophy

As a former student and teacher of Title 1 public schools, I am passionate about using teaching to promote educational equity. In my classrooms, I work to ensure that I deliver content in student friendly ways, being mindful of the different levels of preparedness that students may enter my classroom with. I aim to make information accessible and meet all students where they are so that they can thrive in a college setting regardless of the K-12 education they have received.

My research has shown that individuals of color and/or lower socioeconomic status often receive poorer educations, have worse long term outcomes, and subsequently transfer this inequality to their children. I use teaching and mentorship as tools to combat these inequities.
