Teaching

Philosophy, Courses, and Syllabi

I see education as a way to share knowledge while giving students room to build real critical thinking and problem‑solving skills. I teach subjects that most students never encounter in high school or in their core college classes. My goal is to open the door to new ideas and histories they haven’t had the chance to explore before. And to find a creative way to talk about their new knowledge. That novelty is intentional I attempt to use storytelling and games to push students beyond what they think they know about history. I strive to guide students toward the often-ignored stories that make history not only exciting but also rich and relatable.
