Please tell us about yourself, your family and your interests.

I am a person who loves to learn. I have two children. I like studying and sports.

What drew you to the program you are studying at Athena? Is it living up to your expectations?

I am studying at Athena as I want to learn more about business, leadership and corporate strategy to survive in these conditions of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA).

What would you like to do after completing this course  from Athena?

I want to apply the knowledge and skills I have learned and I want to teach that to others as well. I would like to be a lecturer.

What do you think makes a great teacher?

A teacher is said to be great when he can provide invaluable knowledge and experience to his students so that they can apply what they have learned to benefit the environment.

What’s your dream job?

My dream job is to be a Lecturer.

What is the most courageous thing you have ever done?

The most courageous thing I have ever done was when I decided to leave a position that was already good enough to learn new things outside the field that I had studied and worked on. I shifted from engineering to project management.

What is your best childhood memory?

The best memory I have as a child was being a champion of outstanding students who demonstrated excellence in academics.

What is your idea of a perfect vacation?

The perfect vacation  for me is traveling with my family to a new place with a different culture so that my children get to know a culture outside their own.

Which fictional character (character from a film, book, TV series, play) would you like to be friends with?

Doraemon, an earless robotic cat who travels back in time from the 22nd century to aid a boy named Nobita Nobi in the Japanese manga series.

Mention one important lesson you have learned in life that made you what you are today.

I have learnt that the capital to get a better future is education. Our life will be far better if we have a good education and  wide knowledge.
