My instructional design and teaching philosophy is grounded in a commitment to respect, inclusivity, and empowerment of students and clients. This philosophy guides both my clinical practice and academic teaching, ensuring that every individual receives quality care and education. 

My approach is informed by four guiding principles which include deliberate, goal-directed practice, utilizing prior knowledge, reducing cognitive load, and fostering self-directed learners. By adhering to these principles, I can create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that empowers students to achieve their full potential. 

Through intentional design and continuous reflection, I aim to develop occupational therapists with advanced clinical reasoning skills who are prepared to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare and lead meaningful change for the public good.
