About Me
I aspire to provide students with a genuine and engaging college experience that allows them to experiment and explore new things. I aim to instill passion and courage in students to question the given solutions and create new designs. Most students learn best through trial and error; therefore, in teaching, I encourage students to explore topics through a hands-on challenge. The critical thinking/problem-solving skills and effective learning practices gained in class are good preparation for their future careers.
