What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to integrate AI into education and drive impactful change.

As a dedicated educator with over eight years of teaching experience, I have honed my skills in analytical thinking, research, and communication. My journey in education has been marked by a commitment to integrating technology into the classroom, enhancing learning experiences for my students. I have developed lesson plans and assessment strategies that align with national curriculum standards, and I have collaborated with school leadership to improve student performance and engagement.

Currently, I am expanding my expertise in artificial intelligence through the ALX Pathway Program. My goal is to apply AI solutions to real-world challenges in education and beyond. I have also taken on the role of UX Researcher, where I conduct research to identify challenges in educational access for refugees and vulnerable populations in Africa. This experience has allowed me to collaborate with a cross-functional team across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, designing solutions that enhance the usability and accessibility of digital learning tools.
