My students' inquisitiveness helped me fine-tune my ability to convey information in different and exciting ways. I benefitted greatly from the students' cultural blend as it broadened my perception and made me appreciate and respect other people's customs and traditions. My students' diversity taught me adaptability and cultural awareness. Being a research student taught me discipline and independence. During my four years as a researcher, I learned how to gather, analyse, and manage information. I became adept at problem-solving; my focus improved, and so did my confidence. My written and oral skills also got a considerable boost.
Consequently, I was able to conduct intensive research independently, produce a 120,000-word thesis, and defend it competently before a panel of PhD Viva examiners. Over the years, I have allowed myself the ability to transition between various jobs and build a wide-ranging skillset. As a result, I've gained valuable experience while learning quickly, picking up new skills in a variety of fields, and developing a professional demeanour in many unique situations. I take pride in my work ethic and always approach each challenge that comes my way with an enthusiastic attitude. My innovativeness, dynamic spirit, and optimistic personality make it easy for me to work alongside others.
