The quest for knowledge is one of the primary driving forces in my life. My passion for teaching is an extension of my own desire to learn, and it is this passion that fuels my pursuit of excellence in teaching. I believe that aspiring to be a great teacher is one of the most noble of goals; in it is the power to impart knowledge, to influence thinking and ultimately create positive change in the world. With this potential comes the responsibility and challenge to always strive towards becoming the best teacher I can be, and to never stop being a student.
