My favourite quote by Heraclitus:

"Change is the only constant in life."

I’m trained as scientist.  Now, I’m also an educator, a curriculum designer, a mentor, an executive and many more.  Through learning every day, we can conquer this ever changing world.

I enjoy apprenticeship – being a role model to show and demonstrate technical skills and knowledge, to impart values and ethics as well as to nurture the new generations.
