Professional Summary
As a passionate lifelong learner, I'm dedicated to expanding my knowledge and connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds in both education and the private sector. My teaching philosophy has centered around inquiry-based, project-based learning (PBL), leveraging a wide range of technologies to create a 21st Century classroom without boundaries. By integrating constructionism, design thinking, and a global perspective, I have aimed to equip students and adult learners alike with the skills they need for success in an interconnected world,
In my classroom and professional development workshops, I have fostered creativity and independence by giving learners the freedom to experiment and learn through hands-on experiences. As a facilitator, I have encouraged them to explore outside their comfort zones, embrace diversity, and develop a global mindset. I firmly believe that meaningful learning occurs when students are empowered to follow their passions and take ownership of their education.
With a strong focus on STEAM education, throughout 16 years I have designed comprehensive curricula that encompass robotics, CAD/3D printing, coding, graphic design, digital media production, and more. Through these disciplines, I have tried to cultivate technological fluency and equip students with marketable skills for the 21st Century job market. It is my personal and professional mission to emphasize the value of STEAM education, project-based learning, and inspire the next generation of innovators.
Let's connect and collaborate to create transformative educational experiences that prepare students for the future while fostering their creativity, critical thinking, and global citizenship.
