Teaching
I am committed to teaching and advising students as I see this as a critical role as an educator. Through my experiences so far from my Ph.D. studies to my postdoctoral role, and as an adjunct faculty member I have found teaching to be incredibly rewarding. Especially when it relates to guiding students in applying practical skills, when they engage in problem-solving exercises, such as coding, within my lab classes. I believe that by encouraging students to utilize these problem-solving techniques not only equips them for future professional and academic success but also enriches their overall learning experience. What I find particularly fascinating about teaching and advising is the mutual exchange of knowledge that occurs between students and myself.
Below is a list of the classes that I taught and guest lectured at George Mason University.
