Teaching Philosophy: 

"In my own experience, two of the most valuable takeaways I was given by excellent teachers was to acknowledge and embrace difficulty and to find fun in it. When difficult courses rear their heads, it is very easy for students to be intimidated or discouraged - especially in large classrooms. However, smaller scale communication, patience, and variability/versatility in one's methods of teaching can help individualize the experience and provide a learning environment exciting to the student. It is alright for things to be hard, and sometimes, finding the quirky joys in that helps us push through it."
