"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." - Marcus Aurelius
Growing up with parents from diverse ethnic backgrounds exposed me to various cultures and languages early on, sparking a deep fascination with human behavior and social dynamics. This curiosity motivated me to pursue a psychology degree at university.
My interest in understanding people naturally extended to education, where I discovered the joy of engaging with young minds as a teacher. I found fulfillment in nurturing their curiosity and fostering a love for learning through innovative and interactive teaching methods.
I am passionate about promoting authentic, student-centered learning experiences and providing differentiated support using technology. My aspirations include earning a doctorate, lecturing, and conducting research at the intersection of psychology, education, and technology.
