Teaching Experiences

Trained as a sociologist, I approach teaching as a liberatory practice that cultivates self-awareness and critical reflection. One way I do this is by equipping students with theoretical insight and methodological tools that empower them to interpret their own lives and the world around them. I seek to create an inclusive and challenging environment that allows exploration under guidance. I believe that education should be inclusive, where meaningful learning arises from connection, trust, and relevance.
