HELLO! My name is Dr. Dhodi and I will be your Science teacher this school year and I am very proud to share that this will be my 11th consecutive year. "Ab To Porter Apna Ghar Sa Lagta Hai". I have enjoyed myself every minute here because of the wonderful atmosphere created by you, your parents and the school itself to build a loving and caring Porter family that I am so blessed and grateful to be a part of. Not only I am a teacher but a parent as well of a fourth grader Porter patriot, Amyra.
Before joining Porter, I taught Biology and Chemistry at various levels including college for more than 18 years after earning my Ph.D in Entomology. I speak Hindi,Punjabi and Urdu fluently and can understand Bangla quite well.

 I love teaching students how to learn and apply Science in their everyday lives, whether it be while riding a bike, playing a video game, developing an app, observing a bug, watching a meteor shower,going places, climbing a tree or growing  veggies in the backyard. 

I also love to share my treasure of stories of my global experience, my adorable family overseas and especially how people in the other parts of the world lead their lives.
