Get to know your teacher info :)

I have been a science enthusiast all through my high school years which has motivated me to study for a PhD in Science (Biology). This path had consequentially led me into a career in research & development, science writing and teaching. My career has allowed me to travel and live in different countries, and to experience diverse yet beautiful cultures. I am always in awe of God's beautiful world and His purpose for each one of us. I fell in love with teaching during my university years as I mentored and tutored younger students. My experience as a researcher and a lecturer has led me onto a path of research based teaching. Every student is unique in their gifts and I love finding strategies to help them learn. I am excited to work with the amazing team at OCSI to help students grow into people who are full of grit, knowledge and wonder. Wishing us all a great year of learning and growing!

I also make time to read/paint/listen to music/do embroidery.
