I am a currently fourth-year student at Laguna University, pursuing a Bachelor of Secondary Education in Mathematics, with the goal of becoming a math teacher who not only teaches but also inspires students to see the value of mathematics in their lives. I am dedicated to fostering a love of learning that lasts, as I believe education is the key to many doors and opportunities. Mathematics has always inspired me to think critically and solve problems creatively, which led my research group and me to focus on helping students overcome challenges in learning basic trigonometry. Our research aims to build a strong foundation in trigonometric concepts, essential building blocks for further mathematical skills. Through this research and my future teaching career, I aspire to create a supportive learning environment where students feel confident and curious, and I am committed to making a positive impact in mathematics education while inspiring future generations to pursue knowledge with enthusiasm.
