Biography

Teaching Philosophy: A teacher is like a gardener. Just as plants are at the centre of any garden, students are at the very heart of the teaching and learning landscape. My goal is to contribute to the development and support of students as they strive to achieve their academic and personal aspirations.

I strive to create spaces that expand students' horizons, foster independent thinking, and reward intellectual curiosity, while helping them to discover themselves as learners and as people. I offer a repertoire of experiential approaches, including community-based projects, case studies, and field trips, to motivate students to care about their learning and to make connections to their own lives.

The most rewarding feedback is when I see that students accomplished more than I could have hoped for them, that they embraced learning opportunities and made them their own. They are rooted in gardens of their own making; they see themselves as co-creators of their own learning. They cared enough to make connections.
