In a previous interview, she shared her motivation for the feat noting that she wanted to encourage students to love Sciences.
“I decided to do this because as a teacher I do not like how science classes are packed and many students end up not fulfilling their potential. I want to show the doable and interesting side of science. I want to motivate young ones in school who want to become teachers by showing a teacher can achieve greater things beyond the classroom.”
