Expertise

Learning Sciences, Pedagogy, Instruction, Engineering Education, Emotions ,  Culturally relevant STEM education, Teacher Education, Diversity and Equity.
I work with instructors to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences for students. My role is to support faculty in reflecting on and developing their teaching practices, whether through course design, assessment, active learning, or educational innovation. With experience teaching in higher education across STEM disciplines and teacher education, my background bridges STEM and the learning sciences. Having worked with learners and educators across different educational levels, I am particularly interested in human-centred approaches that make learning effective, motivating, and enjoyable for students while also making teaching a rewarding experience for instructors.
