Me in words

I am an experienced educator with 14 years of teaching, specializing in Linguistics and Digital Humanities, and I employ the design Thinking method, which involves an iterative, student-centred approach to creative problem-solving, emphasizing collaboration, empathy, and innovation. I am also an English Language Teaching enthusiast, creative writer, and public speaker. As a published poet with three books and many poems in contemporary literary magazines, I am actively involved in literary movements. My involvement in social service reflects my dedication to making a positive impact in the community. Striving to create engaging learning environments, my mission is to inspire and empower students to become lifelong learners and compassionate individuals. With unwavering dedication and a creative spirit, I aim to make a difference in students’ lives and the broader community. After completing 4 years in an administrative post as Program Officer for National Service, I am presently acting as an NCC caretaker. Reach me at my Email ID
