Teaching & mentorship
Students should leave a course able to make—and defend—better decisions.
My teaching is practical, inclusive, and developmental. I create courses and experiences that help students frame consequential problems, evaluate evidence, work confidently with technology, and see themselves as capable professionals and scholars.
“The clearest evidence of teaching is what students do with their learning.”
