About
I am a biologist who has been teaching in tertiary level since May 2008. I love to break down biological principles to the level a learner will be able to relate with; to create understanding in matters of health. I have grown in the areas of environmental science and environmental health through the course of time through much study and exposure. I am a team player and enjoy cooperating together with my colleagues in managing tasks. I love to take my students on exposure trips and camping experiences. I am skilled in laboratory work to do with biological studies, computer literacy and in teaching. My satisfaction comes when a learner reaches the ‘aha’ moment or ‘eureka’.
