About Roman
Welcome to the crossroads of Education, Psychology, Philosophy, and technology—my realm of passion and expertise. As a Teaching and Research Assistant within the Department of English, French, and Writing at King’s University College at Western University, my journey in academia has been anything but conventional. Rooted in a family legacy of educators, my path was initially illuminated by the allure of STEM fields. Yet, it was the intricate labyrinth of the human mind and its profound impact on our interactions with the world that ultimately captivated me.

Learn About My Personal Learning Philosophy
In The Video Above
Under the mentorship of esteemed scholars like Dr. John Drew, Dr. Srividya Natarajan, and Dr. Imants Baruss, I delved into the realms beyond the surface of our existence, seeking to understand the profound narratives that shape our being. This intellectual pilgrimage was complemented by my time as a Karate Sensei, where the art of teaching transcended physical discipline, becoming a conduit for life lessons and personal growth.
​
My dedication to education is not solely academic; it is personal. Having navigated my own challenges with traditional educational systems, I have become an advocate for transformative learning experiences. This conviction was further reinforced through my work with Newcomer Youth at the YMCA, where the power of education as a tool for empowerment became evident.
​
As I stand on the threshold of further academic exploration, potentially within the domains of Education, Business, or Philosophy, my mission remains unwavering: to leverage my knowledge and experiences to foster environments where education is not just a transfer of knowledge but a transformative journey that empowers individuals to navigate and reshape the world around them.
