Education

Grounded in my work as both a poet and producer, my teaching philosophy is centered on creating environments that are intellectually rigorous, joyfully experimental, and deeply collaborative. Drawing from constructivist pedagogy, I believe students learn best through active participation and dialogue, where knowledge is co-created rather than imposed. I emphasize a Socratic seminar approach, fostering discussions that challenge assumptions, promote deep inquiry, and explore diverse perspectives. My goal is to cultivate spaces where students feel empowered to question and shape their world through their own creative voices.
