Why I love teaching:

Throughout the undergraduate period of study that I spent in a medical school, the structure and functions of the human body always fascinated me. After graduating in medicine, I worked as a basic medical doctor in hospitals, private clinics and oilrigs. I took to teaching because I felt I could reach out to people in the best possible way. Anatomy is a challenging subject, and many students are intimidated and demotivated by its sheer voluminous nature. My teaching experience contributed to my understanding that the most meaningful learning takes place when students are motivated and challenged. I wish students would absorb the concepts that I can offer to apply clinical knowledge to anatomy and embryology throughout their studies in medicine and as a basic medical doctor.

Outside of classroom:

I am a professional musician who can play the guitar, keyboard piano and drums using my ear for music.
