I am a professional teacher with a decade of experience in science instruction (Biology and Chemistry) at the secondary school level. I am also a school administrator. My passion is in teacher development in the areas of pedagogy and leadership. As such, I am a firm proponent of the Uganda National Teachers' Union motto: "The nation is because we are". I look forward to an Africa whose Education system is relevant and competitive in this Global age.
