"My teaching philosophy is to create an inspirational learning environment where I can guide my students to challenge their scientific thinking through discussions and interactive learning activities. Every student is unique. As an educator, I believe it is my duty to meet students where they are and give them the “spark” they need to get motivated to reach greater heights. I find it immensely gratifying to see my students succeed. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing that I have made positive impacts on my students’ lives."
