Teaching Philosophy

Students are the future of conservation and our global society. I integrate research into my teaching to achieve three interwoven goals:

​

  1. Provide my students with a solid knowledge base

  2. Empower them to identify and pursue the questions that excite them

  3. Challenge them to develop transferable skills which will be valuable in the job market.

 

I structure my courses to provide personalized learning and increasing academic freedom over time. In doing so, I encourage my students to take a leadership role in their own learning.
