EMAIL AVAILABLEPHONE NUMBER AVAILABLESUMMARYMy goal is to obtain a position in a university/college environment teaching Religion and Humanities-related classes. I am seeking an environment where I can leverage my diverse teaching experience in secondary and higher education in Taiwan and the US. I create a student-centered learning process by integrating critical thinking, engagement with the sources, and helping students create sophisticated but clear expressions of their ideas. I strongly emphasize asking questions and the process of question formulation. I have a strong track record of advising students on both academic and non-academic issues. When I have served in administrative posts, my aim is to improve the best possible learning environment and advocate for students needs. I remain active academically as a researcher and bring those research projects into the classroom to engage students with current issues in the field and how those issues impact society.
