- I am a passionate researcher and academic committed to excellence in teaching, research, mentorship and human service. My academic interests are centered on Entomology, with particular emphasis on insect ecology, medical and public health entomology, vector biology, insecticide resistance, molecular identification and the development of innovative approaches for sustainable insect-based resources.
I am dedicated to creating an engaging learning environment that encourages students to think critically, develop practical skills and apply scientific knowledge to real-world challenges. Through teaching and mentorship, I strive to inspire the next generation of scientists and contribute meaningfully to academic and professional development.
I possess strong administrative and organizational skills, with experience in academic coordination, project management, field research organization, teamwork and institutional service, approaching administrative responsibilities with professionalism, efficiency and accountability.
My broader goal is to contribute to impactful scientific research, strengthen academic collaboration, mentor emerging researchers and support institutional development while continually pursuing excellence in teaching, research and service.
