As an educator, I aim to guide students in developing a positive self-image and to help them build the confidence to reach their full potential. I have taught in institutions that follow Ivy standards in pedagogy, like the Harkness method. In teaching, I work with students, individually and/or collectively, to create a space where they can strengthen critical thinking skills and gain the self-confidence to ask questions and voice thoughts and ideas–with forethought and trust in their reasoning.
