This blog is a journey, a reflection on my choices and lessons I've learned along the way.
For years, I thrived in the academic world, holding a faculty position at a university.

Now that my youngest is eleven, a new chapter has begun.

I've found a fulfilling way to combine my love of teaching with the flexibility of online education. Seeing my students learn and grow is incredibly rewarding, and it rekindles my passion for education in a way that complements my role as a mother.

And now, I'm additionally thankful for platforms like this blog, where I can share my thoughts, experiences, and ideas with a wider audience.
