I have always been fascinated by how culture and identity intersect, and this passion naturally ties into my deep interest in education and educational psychology. With over a decade of teaching experience and the privilege of engaging with diverse cultures, I have developed a profound appreciation for the unique richness each individual’s culture brings to the educational landscape.

This fascination has often inspired me to merge my love of reading, education, and culture into works of literary analysis. Below are selected examples:

• Literary analysis of The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri: This piece explored the complexities of cultural identity, the struggles of navigating immigrant experiences, and the nuanced journey of finding belonging in a multicultural world.

• Book review of Cleverlands by Lucy Crehan: In this review, I examined the cultural and systemic factors underpinning the success of top-performing education systems, highlighting the valuable lessons they offer to educators and policymakers worldwide.
