“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

— Albert Einstein

About Me

A passionate advocate for inquiry-based science education for over 15 years, specializing in making complex topics accessible and exciting for all learners. My classroom philosophy is built on the idea that every student is a natural scientist. By fostering curiosity and providing hands-on, collaborative experiences, I aim to empower students not just to learn science, but to live it. I believe in creating a dynamic learning environment where questions are celebrated, mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth, and discovery is a shared adventure. My goal is to equip students with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they need to navigate an increasingly complex world.
