I specialize in developing and teaching courses on social work theory, research methodologies, mental health, substance use, and health and social systems.

My courses strike a balance between challenge and accessibility, ensuring that students engage in meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences. I incorporate experiential learning, which offers students opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios — equipping students with the practical skills necessary for effective integration into their future professional practices.
