About

I am a mature, confident, and independent professional with strong team leadership skills and the ability to work effectively alone or as part of a team. As a former Students' Representative Council (S.R.C.) member, I developed strong advocacy and communication skills by speaking on behalf of students. I also actively volunteered during that time, which shaped my commitment to helping others. More recently, I have gained valuable experience teaching at an Aircraft Engineering School, where I focus on developing students' practical skills and helping them better understand complex engineering concepts. I take pride in breaking down difficult topics and supporting learners to build confidence and competence.
