My work as a university professor in a Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning, is nested in an intellectually rich and culturally vibrantly community. I work with culturally and linguistically diverse local and international students, most of who possess strong backgrounds in teaching and bring to the class rich experiences. I see myself as a catalyst for inspiring educators to embrace the diversity within themselves and in their classes as they embark on a journey of continuous growth. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the recognition of the transformative power of embracing diversity, creativity, critical reflexivity, empathy and the integration of technology to create safe, inclusive and collaborative learning communities that reflect the rich diversity of our global society. Through these principles, I aim to empower teachers with the skills, knowledge, and passion necessary to navigate the complex and ever-evolving landscape of education.
