Teaching Philosophy

In the classroom, I use a cognitive constructivist approach style to establish a student-centered learning environment. Moreover, I facilitate a hands-on, application-based approach to disseminate information efficiently to increase content retention. I believe it is fundamentally important that education incorporate both practical industry knowledge and empirical theoretical underpinnings to engage and encourage students to think beyond traditional concepts of media.
