During my Master's program at UCLA, I was exposed to different ways of teaching and believe that students learn in a variety of ways.

My college experience was unique to the learning community. Instead of theorizing and contemplating what lives the subjects we studied were living, we lived amongst those most only read about. In additi ... read more
