Summary

My classroom is a space where code meets consciousness. As a dedicated and experienced IB educator specializing in IB DP Computer Science, IB DP Theory of Knowledge, and IB MYP Digital Design, I strive to create engaging learning environments where students do more than just consume information—they question its origin and design its future. I focus on the powerful intersections between technology and knowledge, using inquiry-based learning to spark intellectual curiosity. My goal is to produce holistic learners: students who are academically accomplished, ethically grounded, and equipped with the design thinking skills necessary to approach the world with creativity and confidence.
