My teaching philosophy centers on fostering transformative learning experiences within second language education and literacy. I prioritize integrating critical, multimodal, and digital literacies into the curriculum, encouraging students to engage with language learning as a powerful tool for social justice and advocacy. My courses and extensive mentorship emphasize culturally sustaining pedagogies, often drawing from experiences and insights rooted in the Global South. I prepare future educators to critically analyze and design innovative language teaching practices, including the integration of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and gaming. Through guiding dissertations, theses, and practical projects, my goal is to cultivate reflective practitioners capable of bridging theoretical knowledge with effective, human-centered pedagogical praxis.
