My teaching philosophy embodies holding students to a high-standard with regards to effort, professionally leading by example, and giving students the opportunity to learn through real-world applications.  I take full responsibility for what my students learn, and how well prepared they are for life, work, and lifelong learning.  I teach to give all of my students an opportunity to be better. 

I want to be an advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion within AGED community. I will lead by example.  My teaching model will demonstrate how work ethic and direction can develop students academically, personally, and professionally.  I will work and continuously pursue that “fairness” and “equity” be embedded within my teaching philosophy, instructional responsibilities, and professional goals.  I want to help all individuals within AGED.
