Notes By Yara from June 2020 to January 2024
it all started as a way to help students especially the ones who can't attend or are not experienced in taking proper class notes at the University level. I ended up creating crash courses for these students and made a system on Google Classroom to ensure that all students even today can open to see the resources given by the professors.
I am interested in learning new software and finding effective resources online to make the prep process more timely and efficient, as well as leave time for me to keep the library tidied up and up to date.
One of my hobbies is recipe testing and improvement, also, learning about different cuisines and countries.
