Academic spotlight
I love standing up in front of the class and being able to disseminate my knowledge to others. I get such a buzz when seeing the students interested in my topic and wanting to take part.
Outside the classroom is where some of the most important work happens. Learning about the students and supporting them through not only their studies, but also their everyday lives. I really enjoy getting to know the students and watching them grow through their degree and even beyond that.
