Brief Profile
For me, teaching is a passion and a tremendous responsibility. Teaching is continuous learning with adaptation of new methods and styles so that the cram of the subject is understood well by the students. Teaching should also foster critical thinking, facilitate the acquisition of life-long learning skills, and prepare them to function effectively as a team member and leader in an organization with ethics and discipline.
I currently teach the subjects of the Finance specialization – International Finance, Derivatives and Risk Management, Global Financial Markets and Practices and also core subjects such as Operations Management andProject Management.
Apart from academia interests, I love to read contemporary fiction, experiment with new cuisines, listen to music and dance. Emceeing and Compeering are my hobbies too.
