Teaching Philosophy:

My teaching philosophy centers on storytelling as both a technical craft and a way to understand the world. I tap into my background in documentary film and television to create a classroom centered on hands-on production, practice and reflection. I guide students through the creative process while encouraging them to take risks and find their own voices. My goal is to help students grow their visual literacy and critical thinking skills by balancing structure with curiosity. Students gain the ability to communicate their ideas clearly and effectively through image and sound.
