Energy, empathy, and a clear purpose.

A teacher, first.
I began in classrooms and gradually took on curriculum, teacher-development, and programme responsibilities. Even as my work expanded into academic coordination and people leadership, I kept teaching. That matters to me.
Across South Korea, Georgia, and South Africa, I have taught English communication, literacy, literature, humanities, and Social Studies to learners from primary school through secondary school, university, and adulthood.
I use expression, voice, gesture, storytelling, and a little acting to bring language and ideas to life. The energy sits within a calm, respectful classroom where routines are clear and students know what is expected of them.
My current focus is primary and secondary teaching. Early-years experience is part of my history, but I’m looking for opportunities where school-age learners can develop their language, curiosity, and independent thinking.

Working across cultures has taught me to listen first, understand local context, and build relationships with students, parents, and colleagues before assuming one approach will work everywhere.
