Online | Assistant Professor, Industrial and Organizational Psychology
As an educator, seeing students reach their full potential and achieve goals that they once believed were too far out of reach is what motivates me to teach. I aspire to engage my students in learning that will be readily applied and deeply transforming – both personally and professionally. Every individual has the innate desire to learn and grow. This is the single greatest truth that underscores my teaching and mentoring of students. Frequently, students need to have that desire to learn awakened or to be offered a safe space to grow in self-awareness and self-confidence. My goal for any course I teach is to create an environment where the students can connect with the course content, their classmates, and me. Success in the classroom is linked to creating a student centered course room environment that explores leadership and organizational studies through a social justice lens. I engage students in helping them to connect theory to the real world. I firmly believe that learning must be readily applied.
I am fully dedicated to creative teaching and mentorship as a means of cultivating ethical, equitable and inclusive leaders that embrace a life-long love of learning, serving and promoting a more just society. I strive to mentor and develop the whole student, not just the areas of the learning outcomes listed on the syllabus. It is imperative for me to assist my students in connecting their learning in all areas of their lives. Personal growth and development are rooted in the availability of clear expectations and guidelines, supportive mentorship, and an environment that encourages creativity and safe exploration. Ensuring this experience for each of my students is far beyond a task for me, it is a privilege. And the magnitude of this privilege is not lost on me.
