This is my education background: Master’s in Education from Boston University and a Bachelor’s Degree in History from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
What I do outside Star Academy: I spend a lot of my time drawing, reading, listening to music, and going out into nature. I love travelling, trying new foods, going to the movies and visiting art museums. Some on-going goals I have been working on outside of work is continuing my learning of Mandarin Chinese and working on a stand-up comedy routine.
Teaching mantra: I believe a great teacher is not only an engaging speaker but a good listener as well. While I encourage students to showcase their individual strengths, I also believe in creating a collective learning environment where all students work together, make meaningful contributions, and feel empowered to learn on their own. My teaching style is creative, efficient and diverse. Whether it be through projects, formal assessments, or discourse in the classroom, I try to find a myriad of ways for students to show what they know. Above all else however, I aim to make history interesting, relatable, and fun!
