Philosophy
In all my work, I integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion, with particular attention to ensure that evaluation processes are attentive to the needs of those historically underserved within higher education.
A committed lifelong learner, I have participated in a Universal Design for Learning faculty learning community and earned the Quality Matters (QM) certificate for Applying the QM Rubric; the Association of College and University Educators Inclusive Teaching and Equitable Learning (ITEL) and Effective Teaching Practices (ETP) certificates.
