I am passionate teacher who loves challenging students to broaden their perspectives on world politics and develop critical thinking abilities. My priority is to create an open and comfortable learning environment that facilitates participatory classroom discussions in which students can express and interact with diverse ideas. I maintain high expectations from my students, building my curricula around the application of political theories to real-world examples. I am highly committed to empowering each of my students to pursue their academic and career goals in political science.
