Courses Taught
Teaching Philosophy
The guiding quote in all of my courses is: “Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.” – Pope Paul VI
Our primary task as educators is to be a witness for our students not just in terms of the content we teach but in the way we live our lives.
