What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead STEM learning and science communication for multilingual learners, collaborate with great teams, and use data-driven planning to improve outcomes—whether in education, communications, or procurement-focused work.

I’m a STEM Educator and science communications professional, with experience teaching multilingual learners and simplifying complex science concepts. I bring an analytical, cross-cultural approach to lesson planning and student engagement.

Most recently, I deliver engaging ESL instruction to elementary school students and create structured, positive classroom environments. Before that, I led STEM tutoring as a tutor—developing strategies to attract students and improve retention while translating difficult scientific ideas into clear learning.

I also combine education with business and procurement experience: I analyzed inventory data to drive cost savings and increased sales through data-driven planning, and I previously managed procurement for science and engineering departments by evaluating pricing trends, vendor negotiations, and equipment utilization. I’m motivated by roles where I can teach or communicate science effectively and use data to improve outcomes.
