Projects
Professor and Researcher

When I was in my graduation course, I didn't want to work in Advertising agencies. To help pay for my tuition, I worked as an English teacher, and that ignited the passion for the profession. In order to be a University professor and researcher, I rushed Masters and PhD degrees and finished when I was 28 years-old. Take a look at specially curated projects I've been into:
