My passion for education is dedicated to helping students discover the fascinating world of science. As I teach science concepts to students, I help students reclaim the joy of discovery, increase their scientific literacy, and make deeper connections to the world around them. Seeing my students blossom and grow every day spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually is what inspires me to teach.

My teaching philosophy is based on the principles of inclusivity, equity, diversity and most of all, building student agency. Every student has unique strengths and needs, and teachers must not fit students into one box. Therefore, I encourage my students to develop their full potential by respecting individual learning styles and fostering a growth mindset to help them be independent learners.

My various teaching experiences, from biology to chemistry to physics, helped me develop teaching strategies and tactics to inspire students to learn science and develop essential science skills. I ensure the learning environment is safe and inclusive for all students, in which every individual feels respected and valued in the classroom. My love and passion for education and teaching are unlimited, and I view learning as a never-ending process.
