Teaching Interests
I am interested in the professional learning of our students. I desire to be a positive educator where students have the freedom to learn and grow within their respective fields. I feel responsible for ensuring that each student that leaves my class has a positive experience; and, if so desired, is prepared to enter the aviation industry well prepared for the expectations that will be placed upon them.
