Educational Philosophy:

I believe in using a multi modal system for delivering instruction in a group. As everyone learns differently, delivery of information should be reflected as such.

I feel like integrating real life experiences into our learning is a way for people to create a deeper connection with the content.

Laughter and joy are critical elements for maintaining our spark for learning and for teaching. I believe in delivering content in a way that will spark joy and laughter that encourages a mindset of lifelong learning.
