"Teaching has always been my passion. There is nothing more rewarding than
watching the light of recognition in a student’s face as an abstract theory converts to an applicable reality. I
sustain students’ attention by infusing my lectures with humor and facilitate a comfortable environment for sharing any
ideas and questions. I engage students’ participation from the beginning of the class to the end by challenging them
with numerous questions throughout the lecture. I consider my course a success if students bring eagerness and
enthusiasm to learn to the classroom"
