Teaching Experiences
I began my teaching journey back in the fall of 2019 and have grown tremendously over the years! I have taught face-to-face, hybrid, online synchronously, and online asynchronously. Teaching is my greatest passion and I am grateful to have had so many wonderful opportunities to diversify myself as an educator.
