What I'm looking for
I am Nzabihimana Damien, a dedicated educator with extensive experience as a part-time lecturer at various universities in Rwanda since 2015.

My teaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of community service, adult training, and gender awareness, which I integrate into my curriculum.
Throughout my career, I have also served as an Immigration Officer for 15 years, which has honed my organizational and communication skills.
