Teaching Interests
My philosophy of education is that adult learners come from diverse and unique backgrounds and creating an inclusive, warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment where trainees feel comfortable exploring their ideas and questions is essential to achieve maximal academic achievement and progress while also experiencing fulfillment. I find that following this philosophy is not only what leads to the greatest out puts for individual learners, but it also enhances group productivity and group achievements. I emphasize to trainees that academics is a team sport, and we should all help each other out through selfless collaboration to accomplish our academic goals (which for my group is to address cancer disparities). -
