I have been teaching for more than 5 years and find great joy in imparting knowledge and critical thinking strategies onto others. Additionally, I love to create. Creativity is a huge part of both my professional and personal life. Creating interesting lesson material, finding unique solutions to problems, creative writing, etc. fascinate me to no end. I do not like to stagnate and creative thinking, as well as continuous learning, helps to keep my mind active. The three areas I'm currently focusing on are cognitive psychology, applied linguistics and computer science. These fields are working closer together than ever before e.g. human-computer interaction, computational linguistics, natural language processing, instructional design, etc. My goal is to observe and participate in different environments where these fields collaborate in order to gain the necessary experience required for further education/employment in an interdisciplinary field
