Collaborative & Iterative Pedagogy

My teaching and facilitation experiences range from brief workshops to semester-long curriculum design and instruction. I’ve supported dozens of community-engaged courses at the University of Washington, led seminars for experienced healthcare researchers, and created undergraduate and capstone courses with instructors in disciplines from engineering to business to food sciences.
