I have been teaching from the times when I was still in school myself. Learned early on, that this is what I want to do in the future. Having studied Microbiology followed by medical lab technology. I worked in reputed hospitals and medical entities like medical and diagnostic centers, laboratories, etc in India and in the middle east. Throughout these years, never lost touch with teaching which continued more as a hobby than a profession but was never treated in any lesser value. I felt pride when my students achieved their goals, or to say passed with flying colors. Biology has been my passion and microbiological study only added more fire to my passion.
