Bio
I am a Psychometrist with a strong passion for teaching and learning. Let me help you achieve your highest potential and bring enthusiasm and excitement to your educational journey!
I have been in leadership positions throughout my life; as a sports captain and prefect at various levels. However, more recently, I have been highly involved in student welfare as an Academic mentor at IIE MSA.
