Teaching & Mentoring Philosophy
I believe in creating learning environments where students feel safe to ask questions, stay engaged, and develop confidence in tackling complex problems. My approach centers on lowering barriers to participation through anonymous check-ins, incentivizing engagement through low-stakes participation points, and maintaining focus with hands-on activities that connect theory to practice.
In mentoring, I take a scaffolded approach—providing close guidance when students are learning new methods, then gradually stepping back as they gain independence. I meet with mentees regularly and proactively offer support during key milestones. My goal is not just to help students complete projects, but to equip them with critical thinking skills and confidence they can apply beyond research, whether in graduate school, industry, or any path they choose.
