Leading with Empathy

 
Picture
I designed and taught "Leading with Empathy", a unique, multidisciplinary pre-college course at Brown Leadership Institute. In my teaching of psychological and behavioral science, I emphasize academic rigor, creativity, and real-world relevance.
In my course website, I shared many of my favorite empathy-related readings, videos, exercises, and other recourse I have curated over the years.

Previous Teaching & Training Experiences

I have served as a Teaching Assistant for several undergraduate psychology courses at Brown and an MBA course at Stanford Graduate School of Business. My training in acting, persuasion, and conflict resolution has inspired my interactive and inclusive teaching methods​.

I believe that learning is fun, exciting, and rewarding; it opens eyes to the world, hearts to other people, and doors to the future. ​Over the past few years, I have had the privilege of designing my own learning experience and working with great teachers in psychology, anthropology, acting, persuasion, and organizational behavior. Genuinely inspired by my educational experiences, I would like to pass on the same spirit of learning to my students. I hope that students in my class will not only gain knowledge and skills in research and thinking, but also cultivate curiosity about social phenomena and underlying mechanisms. Most importantly, my goal is that students gain a deeper understanding about their interests and passion, which will motivate them to continue self-guided learning long after graduating from my class.
