I am particularly passionate about working with students who have diverse learning styles or needs that are not adequately supported in the traditional education system.

That experience has also provided me with the opportunity to translate my hard-earned lessons to those...

...Pursuant toward peace, conflict resolution within multi-cultural environments remains an integral part of all my lessons. The group seminar research projects which I have set up in my classes utilize a problem-solution genre to scaffold analysis and innovation in all coursework.
