Biography

I am a higher education teacher because I love to learn. What inspires me most about teaching is witnessing my students grow, thrive, and reach their goals. I am a problem-posing educator who seeks to engage with students to transform the classroom into a site of resistance and empowerment. My academic interests include interpersonal communication, intercultural communication, critical pedagogy, critical public speaking/advocacy, and curriculum and instructional design.
