What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role supporting adult and international VET learners online—delivering academic advising, assessment and project support, and bridging English and educational background barriers so students can succeed.

I am a Learning Advisor / Academic Skills Tutor with over 8 years of experience supporting adult and international students in Australian VET programs, particularly Certificates III, IV, and Diplomas in Business, Project Management, Marketing, Human Resources, Aged Care, and Child Care. I primarily help learners facing barriers related to English language proficiency and/or limited prior business education, providing support with classes, assessments, and academic projects.

Since 2018, I’ve delivered all academic support online to students enrolled in Australian institutions. My background blends adult learning support and academic advising with strong business and project management knowledge (Bachelor of Business Administration) and advanced language capability developed through professional experience across corporate, education, and not-for-profit environments in Australia and Colombia.
