Summary

My dedication to teaching has been fueled by a profound passion that intensifies with each instance of witnessing significant academic improvements in my students or receiving heartfelt expressions of gratitude for broadening their perspectives. This deep sense of fulfilment truly brings me joy and gives me purpose. I am committed to critically examining the assumptions that shape my worldview and constantly exploring the nuances often overlooked in familiar domains in modern society. Alongside my individual pursuits, my goal is to empower the burgeoning minds within my sphere of influence to unlock their utmost potential, instilling in them the belief that with determination and hard work, there are no limits to what they can accomplish.
