TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I have taught this course for roughly the past five years. I truly enjoy the teaching experience and introducing the field of Psychology to new students. I fell in love with Psychology after taking my introduction to Psychology course at Franklin and Marshall College and it has certainly shaped my career and education since.

I am open to helping students any way that I can. I am very flexible but only if you reach out to me and let me know what is going on. I am happy to review all papers ahead of time to provide feedback and constructive criticism as well. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns!

I look forward to the course with all of you!
