As a professional pharmacy educator and scientist, I have consistently applied three mottos to guide me through my career: Performance with integrity; Leadership by example; and Success through simplicity. My four keys to successful teaching include passion, knowledge, efficient delivery and student involvement. By imagining myself sitting at the student’s receiving end, I gain a wider perspective and continue to improve my teaching skills and my ability to keep students interested and engaged.
