Goals:

• Build a relationship of trust with students
• Focus on developing student’s soft skills
• Use inclusive teaching tools

As a teacher, I thrive to be passionate, to actively listen, and understand who my students are. My role is to set up an environment of trust to facilitate learning through dialogue. I want students to feel safe to ask questions and participate in the learning process. I believe class time is an enjoyable experience tailored to students. My teaching is collaborative, inclusive, and focuses on the development of soft skills, which are equally crucial for the job market. Lastly, I want to allow students to shape their assessment and course delivery in a way that is suited to them.

As a teacher, my approach revolves around fostering a trusting and inclusive learning environment that encourages active engagement and individualized growth. I am committed to creating an atmosphere where students feel valued, heard, and motivated to explore and question. My teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in three fundamental principles: passion, adaptability, and inclusivity.

Project title: Enhancing Woody Plant Encroachment Detection in Grasslands Using Multi-Source EO Data and Modern Data Processing Technologies Benefiting Canadian Environment and Economy

Description: This project aims to address the rapid disappearance of grasslands, particularly due to woody plant encroachment (WPE), which has become the second most significant cause of grassland loss after land conversion to cropping. By leveraging advanced technology and diverse satellite imagery, the project seeks to develop methods to accurately estimate woody plant cover, detect WPE at an early stage, investigate driving factors, identify vulnerable regions, and assess the economic and environmental benefits of WPE detection on Canadian grasslands, ultimately providing a comprehensive understanding of and methodologies for WPE detection and impacts.
