In my lessons, I focus on creating an interactive and student-centered learning environment. Whether we're discussing psychological concepts, theories, or real-world applications, my approach emphasizes clarity, engagement, and practical understanding. I typically structure my lessons into three key components:

1. Introduction and Concept Overview: We begin each session by reviewing key psychological concepts in an accessible way, breaking down complex theories into digestible chunks. I use a combination of visual aids, real-life examples, and interactive discussions to ensure that the material resonates with each student.

2. Engagement and Application: My lessons are highly interactive. I incorporate case studies, group discussions, and problem-solving activities to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world situations. This encourages critical thinking and helps students see how psychology directly impacts various aspects of life and work.

3. Reflection and Feedback: At the end of each session, we reflect on the material, and I offer personalized feedback based on individual progress. I also provide additional resources or exercises to further reinforce the lesson.

Drawing on my experience as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at the University of Washington, as well as my teaching roles, I bring a unique perspective to each lesson, tailoring my approach to meet the specific needs of each student. My goal is to make each lesson engaging, informative, and applicable to the student's academic and personal growth.

I strive to create a comfortable environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, share their thoughts, and actively engage with the material. My lessons are designed to help students not only grasp psychological concepts but also apply them confidently in their academic and everyday lives.
