Philosophy: My philosophy of teaching and learning is fundamentally rooted in the Cogen approach, which emphasizes collaborative dialogue and shared responsibility in the learning process. I believe that education should be a co-creative experience where students and educators work together to construct knowledge, foster critical thinking, and cultivate a sense of community. In addition to the Cogen approach, I embrace the Capability Approach, which emphasizes empowering students to realize their full potential and pursue their goals. This empowerment is essential for thriving in both academic and personal spheres

Philosophy: To get my job done without procrastination, judgement and flaws so that my service benefit all. I believe in the importance of personal relationship among the colleagues so that a comfort zone is maintained to approach one another anytime, anywhere. I believe that “My responsibility should rather be a shell to tortoise than a load to donkey”; my job is like a limb of my body, and as I carry it along, it is my home in which I rest and feel secure. A profession is not just our income, it is a life companion with which we grow wise. I am enthusiastic to gain new knowledge and innovate ideas for greater impact. I believe that one can always go beyond one’s responsibility and explore the world so that one does not die with the same single title but holds different titles from different individuals living around you.
