At Green Hills Academy, I use Google Edu, Canva, Book Creator, and other classroom tools to support active, self-directed learning. I guided Grade 4 and 5 students in creating more than 100 websites with Google Sites and integrated Scratch, robotics, and digital storytelling into learning.

Through VirEd Creative Learning Lab, I’m developing bilingual programs and practical frameworks that connect education, storytelling, and AI-powered content. I also work as a Strategic Education Partner at DreamizeAfrica, and my work has been recognized with a 2024 GESS Dubai Award recipient—Judge Commendation for Best Use of Digital Learning in the Classroom.
