I am passionate about teaching and supporting students. I strive to create an inclusive space for learning and to actively work to break down stigma around issues such as addiction, mental illness, and neurodiversity in academia. Every student brings unique background, experiences, circumstances, challenges, and knowledge to the classroom, and everyone benefits from accessibility and diversity.
