Teaching

With a strong background in higher education, I have had the privilege of teaching a variety of courses across multiple disciplines, including business, communication, and sociology. My work history spans both serving as an Instructor of Record and supporting students as a teaching assistant, where I have developed and delivered course content, guided students through their learning journey, and fostered an environment that encourages critical thinking, engagement, and personal growth. Additionally, I completed a Post-Masters program in Learning, Design, and Technology with an emphasis in College and University Teaching to further enhance my teaching effectiveness and continue developing strategies to support student success.
