Professor Page

This page offers a glimpse into my role as Associate Professor in the Honors College at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas—a chapter of my professional life grounded in intellectual exploration and teaching across disciplines and majors. My teaching style was relational and experiential, shaped by dialogue, presence, and a deep engagement with questions surrounding meaning, consciousness, the imaginal, and the many ways human beings perceive and interpret reality.

I encouraged students not only to engage with unfamiliar texts, philosophies, cultures, and ways of thinking, but also to remain genuinely open to learning from one another within the classroom itself. Because UNLV was consistently recognized as one of the most diverse campuses in the United States, the classroom often became an encounter between radically different human realities, life experiences, religious traditions, cultural backgrounds, and worldviews. In one course alone, I once taught students who had been born and raised on six of the seven continents.

Rather than serving as a formal teaching portfolio, this space offers an overview of the kinds of interdisciplinary courses I created and taught—blending literature, philosophy, spirituality, creative expression, and existential inquiry.
