Teaching
At Cornell, I supported the instruction of principles of macroeconomics and macroeconomics, real estate statistical modeling, and fixed income securities courses as a teaching assistant for undergraduate and graduate students. At RIT, I teach a Ph.D.-level microeconomic theory course and real estate asset management and investment course to both undergraduate and graduate students.
As an educator in finance and real estate, my teaching philosophy is guided by three core values: experiential learning, content mastery, and engaged citizenry with a focus on technological innovation.
I believe that students learn best when they engage directly with real-world applications. My courses incorporate numerical examples, hands-on problem-solving, and interactions with industry professionals. By inviting guest speakers and facilitating discussions on current trends such as climate risk and insurance, I aim to bridge the gap between academic concepts and professional practice. These experiences not only enrich classroom learning but also provide opportunities for internships and professional networking.
Mastery of foundational concepts is at the heart of my curriculum. I provide ample opportunities for students to practice problems both by hand and through computational tools and case studies. This dual approach helps solidify their understanding of complex material and builds familiarity with technical terms and industry jargon necessary in the field of finance and real estate. My goal is to ensure that students leave my courses not only with theoretical knowledge but also with the practical skills necessary for success in their careers.
Education should extend beyond the classroom to make a meaningful impact on society. I encourage my students to connect their academic learning to real-world challenges, particularly in public policy and community development. My teaching integrates current advancements in AI and machine learning, inspiring students to brainstorm innovative solutions to pressing issues, such as housing affordability and socio-economic disparities. Through this approach, I aim to cultivate socially conscious, tech-savvy individuals prepared to address global and local challenges.
