Teaching & Mentoring

Teaching background

I am deeply committed to honing my skills in the field of education. My dedication led me to pursue and obtain a certificate in Teaching at Higher Education from Harvard. Through this enriching experience, I have acquired skills in knowledge construction, setting clear expectations, and implementing active learning techniques. Above all, during this class, I have learned the art of fostering an inclusive teaching environment — a space where every student feels seen, heard, and valued.

Teaching interests

I am interested in teaching classes related to surface processes, sedimentary geology, field geology, planetary science, paleoclimate, remote sensing, and geographic information systems.
