To me, a great educator is a mix of passion, imagination, organization, academic authority, and respect. That sums up my teaching philosophy. The instructors who genuinely loved what they taught were the ones who inspired me to learn. My passion for teaching is based on a love of what I teach, and the opportunity to share this passion with students. Teachers have the moral and social responsibility, and ability, to effect change and to motivate and empower others. I have an opportunity to provide my students with personal and professional skills and strategies that will help them navigate the future.
