“The great chemist Linus Pauling said, 'Satisfaction of curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.' I believe chemistry is a unique vehicle for this curiosity, teaching students how to analyse, solve problems, and collaborate effectively. At Wellington College, my focus is on fostering academic brilliance while empowering young people to become adaptable, successful professionals in any field they desire. I want every student to step out of my lessons with a deep mastery of the subject, a sharp analytical mind, and a genuine excitement for the opportunities waiting for them.”
