I like teaching at Southwestern because: I think the passing of knowledge from one individual to another is a fundamental aspect that separates humans from other animals. I am glad to have the opportunity to be part of that at Southwestern Academy.

Favorite quote: "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe." -John Muir

My teaching philosophy: The only person who can learn the material is the student, but a good teacher is an invaluable guide in the journey of advancing oneself intellectually.
