I have been continuously involved in teaching and mentorship of students since 2014. Following my own experience as a graduate student, I have continued reflecting upon how much good lecturers and classroom experience have shaped my personality as a professional and kept my motivation high. As I started to teach myself in 2014, I realized that being a good teacher is a professional skill that needs to be learned and continuously mastered through practice, self-education, and passion.

My mission as a lecturer is to ensure that students acquire relevant and modern knowledge as well as learn a set of skills that ensure their successful graduation and employability, be it in academia, state, or industry domains. For me and my students to succeed in the classroom or during a field excursion, I follow a few fundamental principles: establish dialogue and engage, be inclusive, respectful, and respond to personal needs, make the material relatable, create an encouraging environment, and ask for feedback.
