Be the change you want to see
I would not have dreamt of being a scientist or pharmacist, and much less a doctorate holder 10 years ago. But I was given an opportunity and made the best out of it with only the moral support from my family. I have now a family of my own and with my siblings, we are gradually bringing up our family’s quality of life. Education is the greatest tool one can use to improve one’s life, as an individual and also for her whole family. Hence, I have now dedicated my life to also play the role of an educator to help change lives, of regular and less fortunate students. Aside from academic knowledge, my lectures sometimes include informal sessions to help students realize their role as responsible entities in society, instill good moral values, and good learning habits.
Equally important is my role as a scientist and pharmacist, to use my knowledge and innovativeness to bring improvement to everyday life, one small idea at a time. I am passionate in executing new ideas, big or small. I see every single event as potential of idea generator. Therefore, research is not just a career but an integral part of my life goal to bring change.
