Teaching Philosophy
My multidisciplinary, multicultural, and multi-institutional teaching experiences have demonstrated my passion for pedagogy. I am highly committed to promoting student success and fostering the next generation of planners and geographers with diverse backgrounds, broad horizons, and competitive professional skills. To achieve this goal, my teaching philosophy emphasizes: (1) creating an inclusive and student-centered classroom that caters to the needs of all students; (2) infusing social justice and equity in planning and geography courses; (3) igniting students’ passion through inspiring and proactive learning approaches; and (4) developing problem-solving skills by linking the classroom to real-world practice and research.
