My teaching philosophy is deeply shaped by my journey from a remote village in Burkina Faso, where dedicated teachers instilled in me the belief that education can empower individuals and communities. My approach centers on four principles: fostering inclusivity, promoting active learning, embracing culturally sustaining pedagogy, and cultivating joy in learning.

My students consistently rate my courses highly, with perfect 5.0/5.0 scores in key areas such as feeling welcome and respected in the classroom. Students appreciate the inclusive learning environment, engaging activities, and culturally responsive teaching approaches that make learning both meaningful and enjoyable.
