I'm building my teaching portfolio. As a graduate student at Bowling Green State University's School of Media and Communication, I regularly design and deliver teaching demonstrations that put my pedagogical beliefs into practice. While my formal classroom experience is still developing, I approach teaching as something I do—and learn—every day.

How I Teach

I don't just study teaching—I live it. My graduate seminars at Bowling Green State University give me the pedagogical foundation: I learn instructional theory, design teaching demonstrations and practice leading a classroom. 

My role at the Center for Faculty Excellence, BGSU's hub for pedagogical innovation and faculty support, surrounds me with cutting-edge teaching strategies as I oversee marketing for workshops, resources and programs that help instructors across campus improve their practice. And every week as executive producer of BG Weekly, I'm in the field teaching: coaching student reporters, managing a production team, troubleshooting problems in real-time and helping emerging journalists find their voice.

These experiences feed each other. The pedagogy I learn in seminars shows up in how I structure feedback for my reporters. The challenges I navigate in the newsroom become case studies for understanding classroom dynamics. The instructional innovations I promote at CFE inspire new approaches to mentorship. I'm building my teaching practice from the ground up—not waiting for the "right" classroom, but teaching wherever I am, learning from every interaction and refining my approach through experience.
