Teaching Philosophy

The basic fundamentals to my teaching philosophy are to facilitate a student-oriented environment, honing in on each individual's goals or ambitions for future professions in the vastly diverse criminal justice world. My goals are to create inclusive working environments that allow students the opportunity to learn, grow, and progress in their education while fostering creativity and critical reasoning.
