Teaching philosophy statement

Undergraduate course, Creighton University - Physics department, 2023

Ultimately, my teaching practice aims at scaffolding the transformation of the student into a self-directed, lifelong learner who consciously adopts the scientific method to contribute ethically to our society. The current higher education landscape prompts me to design an educational experience that responds to:

Upper level courses

Undergraduate course, Creighton University - Physics department, 2023

My goal is to catalyze students’ active involvement in their physics learning, foster their agency and creativity, and shape their disciplinary identity. The teaching modality I use focuses on an adapted version of Just In Time Teaching, interactive examples, in-class discussions, and staggered projects (including “essays”).

Research with undergraduates, Creighton University - Physics department, 2023

  • I co-authored an article on the effect of gender in undergraduate research “doi”.
  • I co-authored an editorial on evidence-based mentoring of research students and faculty in biophysics (doi coming up soon).
