研究兴趣
My teaching philosophy involves incorporating effective strategies of relevancy so that students go from understanding the material to “living” it. 为了满足这种体验, I am committed to encouraging students to engage in learning and build confidence in their abilities both in and out of the classroom environment. I am also passionate about collaboration and community involvement.
My research background is in learning and memory with specific focus on how early experiences impact later knowledge acquisition and lead to successful behavioral modification strategies. 通过研究, we can come to understand how our early emotional learning is connected to cognitive development and comparative biopsychology/neuroscience to inform our future growth. I also have an ongoing passion for providing tools of effective leadership and transformative change whether for professional or personal growth.
