Service to the Academic Community

My commitment to the academic community is rooted in active engagement and collaboration. By participating in conferences, workshops, and panel discussions, I contribute to the ongoing dialogue on educational technology and accessibility. These activities allow me to share insights, gain new perspectives, and drive innovations that enhance learning environments.
