As a first-generation college student, a woman of color, and an international student myself, I fully understand the challenges faced by a diverse body of students. Through my experience in teaching at a public state universities with non-traditional students, and my experience of guest-lecturing in different courses, I am adapted to teaching a wide range of students and a wide range of topics related to ecology and plants. Please see my teaching philosophy statement and my teaching and mentoring experience below. Other teaching materials are available upon request.
