About

I see teaching as a collaborative process where I walk beside students as they learn how to ask better questions, evaluate evidence, and articulate ideas with clarity and confidence. I emphasize critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and rhetorical awareness because these skills help students understand not just what they think, but why they think it. I am deeply committed to developing my students' scholarly practice and digital literacy, teaching them how to engage with sources, research tools, and emerging technologies. Above all, I believe education should empower students to see themselves as capable thinkers whose voices matter.
