TEACHING

I approach teaching as an active, relational practice in which students learn by questioning, reflecting, practicing, and engaging with one another. My classrooms emphasize the connection between knowledge and practice, critical self-reflection, and the development of skills students can carry into their professional lives. Across courses in social work practice, research, and professional formation, I aim to create learning communities that combine high expectations with curiosity, experimentation, and support.
