Filomena Pereira age 31, hails from the beautiful village of Agacaim, Goa. I am currently pursuing a PhD at BITS Pilani, Goa campus. I hold an M.Sc. in Zoology from Goa University and a B.Sc. from Dhempe College, Miramar. I completed my higher secondary education at Fr. Agnel Higher Secondary School and schooling at St. Joseph High School, Verna, and Mary Immaculate High School, Panjim. With over five years of teaching experience—at Ganpat Parasekar College, Harmal followed by 04 years at Parvatibai Chowgule College—my academic interests center on the diversity of life. I enjoy exploring nature and am passionate about creative teaching, nurturing students with care while instilling academic knowledge and essential life skills.
