Biography

I am a biology educator with a passion for helping students discover the connections between science and the world around them. My teaching emphasizes an inclusive, student-centered approach that values diverse perspectives and encourages curiosity. I incorporate metacognitive strategies to help students reflect on how they learn, build self-awareness, and develop lifelong learning skills. My background is in biochemistry and molecular biology, and I bring real-world examples and active learning strategies into the classroom. I am also passionate about science outreach and actively engage with the broader community to share the excitement of biology and make science accessible to all.
