What is your teaching style like?

I like to incorporate hands-on learning or interactive activities into the classroom. Learning should be interactive and engaging.

Why did you go into teaching?

Teaching was not my first career. I went into teaching because I find cybersecurity incredibly interesting and engaging and wanted to share this with other students/learners.
