Teaching

My teaching philosophy revolves around experiential learning, boosting the self-efficacy of students, creating an inclusive environment, and being accessible. To foster understanding, I make use of interactive class activities, relevant current events, or popular culture examples. I also integrate interesting and novel research findings and my professional experiences to balance the latest theoretical insights with practical perspectives. My international background helped me develop teaching core competencies. 


At the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, I was an instructor of record for the undergraduate flagship Introduction to Entrepreneurship course. I taught in hybrid, online, and residential formats. 


Based on recommendations from my department, my students, and an external evaluation committee, I received two teaching awards at the university and college level. I was recognized with a teaching award (Dr. Torpey Teaching Excellence Award) from the Whitman School of Management for my instruction methods. I have also won a university-wide award (Outstanding TA Award) recognizing the best graduate student teachers.
