Teaching
My teaching experience at Lawrence Technological University has been deeply rewarding, allowing me to share my passion for architecture with aspiring designers. Throughout my time there, I have focused on instilling a strong foundation in both the technical and artistic aspects of architectural practice. This includes emphasizing the importance of sustainable design principles, as well as fostering a collaborative approach that encourages students to articulate their visions clearly.
In the classroom, I have implemented a project-based learning curriculum that mirrors my professional practice, challenging students to develop their own design concepts while adhering to real-world constraints. This hands-on experience equips them with essential skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and effective communication. I strive to create an environment where students feel supported in exploring their creativity while also understanding the practical implications of their designs.
By integrating current architectural trends and technologies into the coursework, I aim to prepare students for the dynamic nature of the industry. My commitment to mentorship extends beyond the classroom, as I guide students in developing portfolios and navigating their early careers. Together, we cultivate a community of learners who are not only skilled architects but also thoughtful contributors to society through their designs.
