I view teaching as a learning experience, where there is a continuous flow of information and knowledge between instructors and students and amongst students themselves. Therefore, my teaching pedagogy revolves around both active and passive learning, interactive group projects and individual efforts.
I am very active in community outreach events, especially those that are related to equity-deserving groups. During my studies at UBC, I helped pioneer the Biology Undergraduate Diversity in Research Program as Program Coordinator. In that position, I organized mentorship and internship programs for equity- deserving UBC Biology Undergraduate students.
