As an educator, I believe that learning and teaching is a reciprocal process where the teacher and the student maintain a continuous conversation while moving toward specific goals. Therefore, I regularly challenge myself to be an effective teacher and mentor by applying effective pedagogical techniques in my classes and incorporating hands-on, field based activities.
