So I have been away from academic environment for quite
- 01:38 - 01:38
a long time.

It feels challenging and I would say that my current
- 01:42 - 01:48
level of expertise with technology is novice, but I would
- 01:48 - 01:50
say that my strength is that I have this fresh
- 01:50 - 01:52
hunger to learn more and improve as an educator.
- 01:54 - 01:57
