Learn MoreI love sharing my passion for physiology and inspiring curiosity about how the body works. There’s beauty in how every system works together to maintain health, and I enjoy helping students discover and appreciate that. Seeing their 'aha' moments and fostering their excitement makes teaching incredibly rewarding. It’s more than delivering facts—it’s about sparking curiosity, making learning meaningful, and helping students connect complex concepts to real life

What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it for funding a scholarship that I have established for the graduate students in the program I founded ( gap year program in Integrative Physiology) and will use a small amount of it for self rejuvenation.
