Biography

Bio

I am a Residential Engineering Faculty member at SCC, teaching since 2018 at both SCC and PVCC. Prior to transitioning into academia, I worked as an electrical engineering researcher. I hold a Master of Science in Analog/Digital IC Design from San Jose State University and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching engineering and math courses at SCC. Over the years, I have implemented a variety of teaching techniques and instructional technologies to enhance the learning experience. By adopting the Maricopa Open Educational Resource (MOER), I’ve been able to customize math course content to better meet students’ needs, while Canvas has been instrumental in developing and managing engineering courses. These platforms enable students to complete homework and quizzes online, track their grades, and access free textbooks and valuable resources both online and offline. Additionally, they facilitate group discussions, promoting collaborative learning.

I strive to create a highly participatory classroom by helping students overcome their initial unfamiliarity with the subject, fostering a welcoming environment, communicating effectively with patience, and building personal connections with each student. My enthusiasm for their academic achievements further motivates them. I emphasize the importance of time management by expecting students to attend every lecture, arrive on time, and submit assignments punctually. I remain accessible to all students, ensuring they receive the support they need to achieve their academic goals.

I find joy in many aspects of life. I deeply appreciate the outdoors and am an avid runner, skier, and swimmer. I love spending quality time with my family and traveling. Additionally, I used to enjoy drawing as a creative outlet, a hobby I still cherish fondly.
