Zeb says: “I have been passionate about educating others since my high school days; my first classes were taught in an NGO in India as part of my school’s social responsibility program. Since then, I have changed schools, countries, and time zones, but one thing has remained constant: my drive to teach by meeting others where they’re at. I believe that every student has their own aptitude, and by tapping into it, we can open up a world of infinite possibilities for them. Being the catalyst for that process is what drives me as a teacher. I currently have a paper on Transmedia storytelling in Korean popular music in the works for publication, and have previously been published in an anthology of short stories. In my free time, I think about my cat back home, or am probably busy playing a video game or knitting a project!“
