I have always been passionate about educating the next generation. It brings me great satisfaction to see a child's curiosity light up in their eyes as they begin to understand something new. I always try to broaden my own horizons by picking up new talents in addition to teaching. The process of learning and development brings me joy, whether it's learning a new AI Tool or exploring the nuances of photography. You can usually find me playing the guitar and getting lost in the sounds and rhythms when I'm not engrossed in the realm of learning and learning how to better myself. When you want to relax, nothing beats spending time with a good book and delving into new worlds and concepts through reading.
