As a professor with a PhD in Communication but also from my experience as a graduate student myself, I believe that education should be a transformative experience that empowers students to become critical thinkers, effective communicators, and responsible global citizens.

My teaching philosophy is based on three main pillars: active learning, student-orientation, and inclusion.

​

Active learning is essential for student engagement and knowledge retention. I believe that students learn best by doing, so I incorporate a variety of active learning strategies in my classes, such as group discussions, case studies, role-playing exercises, and collaborative projects. By encouraging students to participate actively in the learning process, I aim to create an inclusive and dynamic classroom environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and intellectual exploration.

​

Student-orientation is another important aspect of my teaching philosophy. I believe that every student brings unique strengths, experiences, and perspectives to the classroom, and it is my responsibility as a teacher to detect and nurture those differences. I strive to create a safe and supportive learning environment that encourages students to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from each other. I also provide individual feedback and guidance to help students develop their strengths and overcome their challenges.

​

Finally, inclusion is a fundamental value that guides my teaching practice. I believe that diversity in all its forms is a source of strength, and that education should be accessible to all students, regardless of their backgrounds or identities. I strive to incorporate diverse voices and perspectives in my teaching materials, and to create opportunities for students to engage with diverse communities and cultures.
