Teaching Philosophy
I design learning experiences that foreground scientific reasoning, reproducibility, and student agency. In astronomy,
coding and data analysis are gateways to discovery—so I scaffold assignments that move from guided notebooks to open-ended
projects, emphasize clear communication, and normalize iteration and peer feedback.
