“I have a passion for guiding students to reach their highest potential. My teaching philosophy includes a student-centered approach where learning is active, and each student constructs their own understanding. I like to provide each student with the opportunity to share their voice and collaborate to enhance learning and growth.”
“My role is to work closely with our students to prepare and mentor them so that they are ready to become behavioral health professionals. This process involves formal classroom learning, practicums, mentoring, and professional writing, e.g., capstone, thesis, or dissertation.”
“Leadership doesn’t exist in a bubble; it exists in our individual and collective lived experiences. Our objective is to provide our students with skills, knowledge, support, and encouragement so they can learn to be the best leaders they can be and grow into the leaders we need today and in the future.”
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” – Seneca
I love to mentor students and help them to fulfill their dreams. One quote that really speaks to me is from Irvin Yalom who said “To love means to be actively concerned for the life and the growth of another”
“Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behavior wherever you find it. Apply a rigid standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail as you surely will, adjust your lives, not the standards.” – Ted Koppel
“I follow the Rule of the Three Rs – adhering to reason, rigor, and relationships. I see these principles being especially useful at the grand contemporary social junction where Adler’s Individual Psychology responds to a call for community actions and personal responsibility for the fate of humankind.”
