My passion for teaching

I suffered a devastating breakup halfway through my doctoral degree. In fact, I suffered two blows: one, changing the topic of my dissertation and the composition of my doctoral committee altogether, and having my heart broken by someone who cheated on me. I took time away from my PhD for a while twice. However, one good day I decided that I was too passionate to let heartbreak and changing tides defeat me.

I came back. And I came back because I am passionate about teaching. I am a tough instructor, and a tough student supervisor. But you know what? I am a very caring individual. I care about creating the conditions for my students to grow, mature and learn. I’m an excellent teacher, I know that.

And the reason why I am so good at teaching is because I am passionate about it.
