Why I Teach

As a professor, I share my enthusiasm about the subjects I teach with my students. This inspires them to participate and learn. I present topics that are relevant to their lives, giving them the necessary knowledge to make a difference.

It’s hard for me to believe that any other profession could give me the satisfaction that comes from connecting with students and helping them to achieve their goals.
