“Learning is experiential. My classrooms focus on understanding why something is important by focusing on the real-world application of what is being taught. We break down principles and theories to outline and detail why they are important to learn. The classroom involves hands-on learning about real cases and real victims. Students in my classroom learn together and feed off of each other’s insights as the classes progress.”

“The smaller classes allow for individual learning and an enriching classroom”
