About me
Higher educational working setting is an area in which I am fascinated with, and I am aspired to pursue a long-term career in this field.
Throughout my career, I designed effective quantitative research methodologies to address and evaluate various pedagogical styles under multicultural and multidisciplinary context. While I am independently motivated, I also appreciate collective efforts and collaborate productively within group settings.
I am also an e-learning instructional designer with over 9 years of experience. Familiar with student response systems and a variety of e-tools. Insightful professionals ready to apply for new roles with room for growth and advancement.

My Personal Life
Someone said that parenting is both a pleasant and exhausting experience in life at the same time. As I became a father and a husband recently, I couldn't agree with this statement more.
"Parenting is a lifetime job and does not stop when a child grows up." Apart from work, taking care of my family is my personal life. My heartfelt gratitude to my lovely wife and God for giving me this pleasure gift and greatest achievement in my life, my son-"Obi".
Life may compel me to make tough decisions and cause me to be frustrated, but my family just makes all those hard feelings fade away.
P.S. Yes, we believe he has the potential to become a Jedi Master in the future.
