Personal Teaching Philosophy

Experience in Teaching

I have been an adjunct instructor at Community College of Allegheny County since 2017. I am currently employed at this same college in the Arts, Humanities and Social Services Department. I have taught face-to-face instruction on various campuses: Washington, South Side, North Side, Homewood and in the High School, as well as remote via zoom. The classes that I have taught are Psychology 101 – Intro.to Psychology, Psychology 108 – Human Growth and Development, and Sociology 117 – Understanding Chemical Dependency.

Current Activities 

Currently, I am onboard to teach Psychology 108 this summer. This class will be remote and online instruction. Additionally, I was the teaching assistant in Waynesburg University to Dr. Bowser, Pharmacology of Psychoactive Substances, CNS527

Professional Goal Statement

As an experienced counselor, it is my goal to pass on real-life knowledge of the counseling profession, understanding that what is learned in the classroom and how that translates in an actual facility, can be intimidating to the new professional. I endeavor to take the literature and present it in such a way that it is understandable and equips new professional counselors with information and experience that benefits those that will be served.
