I acknowledge the importance of teaching and providing a safe space for learning. I encourage and invite deep and meaningful interaction and engagement while aiming to create safe environments for people to share their experiences and advocates for creating and maintaining collaborative and supportive communities.
TEACHING POSITIONALITY
Understanding the importance of having access to information and support, I give free mentorship to international, underprivileged students, students from minority and less supported backgrounds, low-income students, and first-generation students who want to apply to graduate programs in Social Sciences and Humanities in the US, who need help finding writing-related and standardized testing resources, and who are on their first steps of doing research.
Mentoring and support
She was very insightful and always helped us when we needed help in discussion or when a topic needed to be explained more.
If we had times in discussions where we stopped the conversation, she made it easier to keep going by asking questions or making a statement.
Provided a warm environment for our discussion section that helped me feel warm and welcome.
She made every discussion fun and interactive. She always had nice and supportive comments after a student shared out during the discussion section.
