Teaching Style:

I'd describe myself as a supportive and warm instructor who supports individuals to follow their own personal lines of inquiry. I check in often with participants about what they want to learn and demonstrate relevant techniques and provide insight based on my own experiences and knowledge. Stylistically I see myself as a supporter vs a sage on a stage. I am always aware of group dynamics and cultivate a collaborative environment where there is an open exchange of thoughts and opinions!
