I strive to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment that encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world application of communication principles. My teaching emphasizes active engagement by fostering creativity and empowering students to use communication effectively in their personal and professional lives. I particularly enjoy working with students outside of communication, such as mechanical engineering majors, where I have the opportunity to demonstrate the value of communication in fields where it is not the primary focus. These contexts challenge me to translate complex communication concepts for students who are experts in their own technical domains, while encouraging them to see themselves as active participants in our field.
