As an educator, I am dedicated to fostering student agency and holistic development. I integrate both direct and inquiry-based instruction, emphasizing real-world applications. Recognizing the importance of conceptual learning for transferable skills, I empower students to grasp essential principles beyond the classroom. With a focus on sustainability and equity, I aim to inspire

conscientious global citizens, instilling values of compassion, empathy, and determination. Beyond academics, I lead by example, promoting service, environmental sustainability, and women's empowerment. My goal is to contribute to the development of well-rounded individuals who excel academically and are socially responsible contributors to our interconnected world.

Agency

Fostering learning consolidation by empowering students with agency and encouraging creativity.

Models

Implementing models in the learning process enhances conceptual understanding and promotes a hands-on, practical approach to education.

Experiential Learning

Experiential learning comes to life as students observe plasmolysis in cells, providing a tangible and immersive understanding of biological processes.

Making Learning Relevant

Connecting learning to real issues not only makes it relevant but also significantly enriches the educational experience.

Empowering women and girls holds a deeply personal significance for me as I recognize the inherent strength, resilience, and untapped potential within every individual. Witnessing the transformative impact of empowerment initiatives, I am inspired by the profound societal shifts that occur when women and girls are given the tools, education, and support to thrive. It is a fundamental belief that a society's progress is intrinsically tied to the empowerment of its women. By fostering gender equality, we not only unlock countless opportunities for personal growth but also create a more just and equitable world for everyone. The empowerment of women and girls is not just a cause; it is a commitment to breaking down barriers, challenging stereotypes, and ensuring that every voice is heard and valued.
