Dr. Patricia Uche Ogbo
Senior Lecturer
Personal Statement
I am an early career researcher with approximately 14 years’ experience in research, teaching, and administration, and four years postdoc. I am proficient in speaking, technical writing and critical thinking. As a lecturer, I create interactive sessions during my lectures that promote learning for the students. Being aware that people use their minds to think and learn differently, I develop techniques and approaches that suit the diverse learning styles in the class. In addition to teaching content, I coach students on their lifelong path to self-actualization. I love to see my students grow and mature during their stay in the faculty and my joy is full as they graduate to create paths of excellence for their future.
