About

My research focuses on cultivating systems thinking competency among engineering students. I am deeply passionate about helping my students become successful engineering professionals who will thrive in today's world that is full of complexity, ambiguity, and multi-layered challenges. I enjoy connecting with my students on a personal level and getting to know their strengths, passions, interests, and goals.
