What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to inspire and educate students while fostering a supportive learning environment.

As a dedicated teaching assistant at the British School of Bucharest, I ensure a safe and nurturing environment for children while supporting their educational journey. My role involves preparing teaching resources, assisting in classroom activities, and maintaining communication with parents and staff to foster a collaborative learning atmosphere.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have gained valuable experience as a Junior Audit Analyst at Deloitte, where I honed my analytical skills and attention to detail. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident in my role as a trainer for academic debate, where I empower high school students to develop their critical thinking and public speaking abilities.

With a background in psychology and pedagogy from the National School of Political and Administrative Sciences, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to make a positive impact in the educational field. I am eager to contribute to a dynamic team that values growth and innovation in teaching.
