“By centering art as a language of healing and connection, I prepare students to lead with compassion, creativity, and cultural humility – elevating dignity, voice, and well-being in the lives they touch.”
“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.”
“Practice brings learning to life.”
As a graduate school professor, I teach students how to think critically about the research and scholarly work that guides the practice of our profession, and then how to apply their understanding to real-world clinical practice.
“I consider myself to be a lifelong learner. As such, I strive to convey my passion for teaching and learning to my students through building a dynamic connection with them and promoting active engagement in the learning process.”
“The central task of education is to implant a will and a facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people.” – Eric Hoffer
