I plan to actively engage students, community members, policy makers, and other educational stakeholders.
I have a passion for teaching whether it be in a formal classroom or informally, one-on-one with students or other advisees. I believe that the educational experiences of university students should be intellectually stimulating and rigorous, but also professionally constructive. I intend my own teaching to focus on substantive subject material, but as importantly to offer opportunities for students to advance their professional experiences. For example, my teaching philosophy includes important skill building for students such as persuasive academic writing, manuscript submission, editorial opportunities, and contribution to development projects.
As an undergraduate and master’s student, I was provided with opportunities from a mentor professor to participate in writing, editing, and submitting articles for publication in academic journals and edited volumes. These experiences proved critical in developing my own professional and academic expertise. I plan on structuring many course assignments around student pursuits of academic publication, research funding, and other developmental and professional opportunities for students. I intend to provide my students with practical applied opportunities for research, evaluation, and data analysis by participating in ongoing international development education research.
As a doctoral student, I was involved in seminars through which I contributed to an evaluation of education interventions CARE International’s Basic and Girls’ Education unit. “The research partnership collaborated with eight countries to support longitudinal data collection and analysis to be used to ...

The Adult Education program is important, because it provides a source for me to exercise my professional purpose. “Helping adult learners become successful one student at a time” is my professional purpose.

Goals may include daily short-term achievements or long-term success; nonetheless, goals continue to keep people striving for what they want to accomplish. I create daily goals along with my ongoing list of long-term goals that keep me motivated for my future.

For now, working on my teaching career and becoming a well-rounded adult holds
the long run in terms of a financially successful career. To this end, a great number of students major in the most lucrative majors, which are not their actual interests.

Everyone is a teacher.
