Vancouver | Adjunct Faculty, Industrial and Organizational Psychology
My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that education should be an engaging, inclusive, and transformative experience. With a strong background in biological sciences, statistics, and business administration, I strive to bridge disciplines and equip students with critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills applicable to diverse fields. Education is a dynamic process that extends beyond mere knowledge transfer; it is about inspiring curiosity, fostering analytical reasoning, and developing a lifelong learning mindset. My experience teaching students from different academic and cultural backgrounds has reinforced my commitment to adapting instructional methods to meet the varied learning needs of my students.
I emphasize active learning through inquiry-based discussions, case studies, and hands-on classroom research opportunities. I encourage students to think beyond textbooks and apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. Whether teaching science, statistics or business courses, I incorporate interdisciplinary perspectives that allow students to see the interconnectedness of knowledge. By integrating technology, experiential learning, and collaborative projects, I aim to create a stimulating academic environment that nurtures intellectual growth and practical skills.
My interest in working with Adler University students stems from my passion for interdisciplinary education and social responsibility. Given Adler’s commitment to social justice and community engagement, my experience in research ethics, sustainable development, and scientific inquiry aligns well with the university’s values. As an adjunct faculty and Research Ethics Board (REB) member at Adler, I am dedicated to mentoring students in ethical research practices and fostering a sense of responsibility toward evidence-based decision-making.
I look forward to contributing to Adler’s academic community by guiding students through rigorous analytical processes and helping them develop the competencies necessary to create meaningful social impact.
Ultimately, my teaching philosophy revolves around the idea that education should empower students to be independent thinkers and responsible global citizens. By creating a supportive and challenging learning environment, I aim to inspire my students to pursue knowledge with curiosity and integrity. Working with Adler University students presents a unique opportunity to contribute to a forward-thinking academic culture that values intellectual rigour and ethical leadership.

Adler University in Vancouver has been, like Canada itself, born and built with an open mind. Located in the midst of one of the world’s most exciting and breathtaking cities, Adler University reflects a true Canadian spirit. It’s smart, inclusive and determined to make a world of difference. By design, our Vancouver campus echoes the Adler values and intent down every hall and in every room. It is built to live, breathe and inspire those with the passion to pursue a more just society. This is where the work gets done.
At Adler Vancouver, you’ll find multiple collaborative areas with the absolute latest technology. Learning areas and windows have literally been situated to stimulate thought. To some, that may sound odd, but these things do matter. If students are given the space, opportunity and technology to achieve their goals, they are more likely to rock the boat of conventional thought.
