 I just love the energy that comes in the classroom. I love seeing students connect. The classes I teach that are public speaking, we're teaching a skill that is so important, right? And so seeing my students get more confident just in even answering questions. But also too, I just love learning about what they're doing. And then I also hope that they learn the skills so that they can take all of their expertise and all of their knowledge and communicate it in a way that the world is going to understand. I always try to encourage my students, think about what are you doing that's gonna make the world better? And in order to do that, you need to be able to explain what you're doing and you need to be able to talk about it and you need to have confidence. So I hope my students gain skills and I hope that they feel like their ideas are worthy and they feel comfortable sharing those. I've been so fortunate that I have been able to sort of pursue my teaching interests and I feel like I am in a place both at my department, my college, my university level that the work that we do is recognized and appreciated. And also I feel like Purdue's a very yes university. So when I have had ideas or excitement about something or wanted to expand something, I rarely get nose. It's like, well, yeah, let's try that and let's innovate. And so that's really exciting. This Teaching Excellence Award to me, it symbolizes a recognition at the university level of just the value of undergraduate education and what we're doing. I mean, we don't do this job for the award. You know, it's not like I teach hoping that. But there is something really cool about seeing other people across the university kind of recognize what you're doing and it just kind of affirms that we are doing good work in the Lambs School and what we do matters. It's such a good reminder that at the end of the day we're here to educate our students and teach. And so I think that's really cool that Purdue places such a high value on that.
