Hobbies

Creativity and curiosity guide much of what I do, both personally and professionally. I love to read, especially thrillers with unexpected twists, and I’m always experimenting with new art forms. I enjoy creating wreaths, home décor, acrylic pour paintings, paper flowers, and origami. These creative outlets often inspire the engaging and hands-on learning experiences I bring to my tutoring sessions. Gardening and nature photography help me slow down and appreciate the details, a skill I encourage in my students as well. I’m also a writer and an enthusiastic user of AI tools, always exploring new ways to blend technology with creativity and learning.
