Publications
I believe that an educator is an academic, social, and professional role model with a vision of the overall success of students by providing a supportive, empowering and challenging learning experience. To accomplish this, I leverage appropriate learning methods to accommodate different learning preferences, stimulate critical thinking and the application of evidence-based knowledge to solve real world problems. It is also equally important to inculcate lifelong learning skills by providing learners timely and objective feedback
