Professional Information & Research Interests
As an Assistant Teaching Professor my primary focus is the pedagogy of teaching. Specifically, I am concerned with examining the elements of engaged classrooms which create curiosity, risk taking and critical reflection and which reflect a holistic learning strategy. Over the past decade I have incorporated art resources/tools/methods within my classrooms to create a balance between traditional academic learning and learning which centers intuition, creativity, play and imagination.
My professional interests include non-traditional teaching methods, practice mentorship, feminist group work practice, and online learning pedagogies.
