I have a certification in welding, as well as a degree in education and experience teaching welding at the high school and vocational school level.

My teaching style is a combination of hands-on learning and classroom instruction. I believe that it is important for students to have the opportunity to practice welding techniques in a controlled environment before applying them on the job.

I am a member of several professional organizations for welding educators and regularly attend conferences and workshops to stay informed about the latest developments in the field.

I provide thorough safety training and demonstrations at the beginning of each semester and consistently reinforce safety procedures throughout the course. Additionally, I conduct regular equipment inspections to ensure that all tools and machinery are properly maintained.

I use a combination of assessments, including written tests, practical exams, and observations of students during lab time. I also provide regular feedback to students and work with them to set and achieve individualized learning goals.

I provide extra support to students who are struggling through individualized instruction and extra help sessions. I also work with students to identify any learning accommodations or resources that may be helpful for them.
