teaching

Three core principles of my pedagogy: (1) interdisciplinary and customized learning, (2) balancing theory with hands-on practice, and (3) responsiveness to community needs. These principles reflect my conviction in education’s transformative potential for individuals and society, and are evident in all my courses through lecture content and assignments.
