Fast Facts
My classes are highly interactive and focus on both application and discussion. I strive to connect course content with real-world experiences so students can see the relevance and impact of what they are learning. I emphasize critical thinking and collaboration, creating a environment where students feel challenged but supported. My goal is to cultivate an engaging classroom that promotes academic excellence, professional growth and personal confidence. I encourage students to take ownership of their learning by applying concepts to practical scenarios to help prepare them for their future career goals.
As a former student, I truly value the Christ-centered environment of Anderson University and the way it integrates faith and learning. I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community that helped shape me. I especially appreciate the small class sizes, which foster meaningful relationships with students and allows me to provide individualized mentorship. I strive to support and inspire students to grow in their calling.
The students! Their energy, humor and curiosity make my job both exciting, fun, and deeply meaningful.
