As an educator at Georgia State University, I teach ENGL 1101 and ENGL 1102, working closely with first-year Bachelor’s students to develop critical writing and communication skills. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering creativity, individuality, and collaboration, ensuring that each student has the opportunity to explore their unique voice while building confidence as effective communicators.
In my classroom, I use a student-centered approach that emphasizes active participation and multimodal composition. By integrating a variety of tools—such as videos, images, and digital platforms—I encourage students to express their ideas in ways that resonate with their intended audience. Collaborative learning also plays a central role in my teaching, as students engage in group discussions and peer feedback, fostering intellectual confidence and a sense of community.
I am deeply committed to creating an inclusive and ethical learning environment where intellectual diversity is celebrated. Respect for diverse perspectives enriches classroom discussions and encourages students to think critically about complex topics. My ultimate goal is to inspire students not only to succeed academically but to develop a lifelong passion for learning and writing.
