With prior experience of teaching and working at different levels of education, I aim to address issues pertaining to teaching and learning holistically. By taking an empathetic approach, I employ my ideas in research and teaching and contribute to the formation of new knowledge and experiences both inside and outside the classroom. My primary area of specialization in research and teaching are related to classroom pedagogy, academic literacy development, role of AI in higher education and World Englishes.
