Bio

Hungry for learning and new ideas, but have the practical sense to make them understandable and implementable. I am also strongly people-oriented, and build trust quickly in first-time interactions.

Leading and developing young people is one of my passions. I also always try to encourage my students to figure out solutions for themselves by getting them to ask the right questions. I also try to get my students to think from the most fundamental level of understanding of a topic, and build up from that foundation. I love learning and teaching through Kahn Academy.
