Among the reasons why I am pursuing an academic career path is because I love teaching. I discovered this passion while teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to older adults in night-shift schools. It’s a rewarding feeling to know that I am learning from my students as much as I am teaching them
My areas of interest in teaching are research methods, development economics, microeconomics, comparative health systems, economic analysis in health, and public policy analysis.
