When asked about her teaching philosophy, she responded:

My desire is to give students background information that will create in them an excitement and motivation for learning which will lead them to develop their own ideas about our world. It is a challenge to teach students who have not been successful in the past but the reward is great when I see them successful in the present. I love seeing them develop self confidence in their abilities when they become aware that they have thoughts and ideas worthy to be shared with others.
