Teaching provides me with a chance to guide the minds of the citizens and researchers of tomorrow while I myself learn from the doubts and questions they raise. As a result, I truly enjoy it. I am still in the formative years of my own teaching career, and have tried to be very conscientious in my effort to learn how best to teach. In doing so, I have tried to pay attention to my mistakes and learn from them.

 

Currently Teaching (Fall 2020)

I am on research leave in Fall 2020.
