Teaching Philosophy

I believe that the best learning happens when students feel genuinely challenged and genuinely supported. My approach centers on active problem-solving: creating environments where students engage with reaction mechanisms, debate synthetic strategies, and build chemical intuition rather than simply memorizing facts.

As an international student who navigated new academic cultures, I am particularly attentive to students from underrepresented backgrounds and those adapting to unfamiliar environments. I draw on the extensive TA experience gained at UNIFAL and IQ/UNICAMP — across general, inorganic, organic, and biochemistry courses — to offer diverse and empathetic teaching approaches.
