August 09, 2023
Balancing a career and teaching can be quite a
challenge. Having made the leap myself after years in agency consulting, Im passionate about l supporting others on this rewarding journey.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my role as Team Teaching Coordinator at Parsons School of Design is helping new teachers navigate the nuances of the classroom, a task that requires far more than just delivering content.

Teaching isn't just about imparting knowledge; it's
about creating engaging learning experiences that
resonate with students, fostering equity, and
cultivating a supportive environment for growth..
I'm excited to share this quick guide that I use to
onboard new instructors, highlighting some key
hurdles they face and offering insights to overcome them
If you're interested in learning more about how to navigate the transition into teaching, or are simply curious about effective teaching strategies, feel free
