What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to innovate in education and support student development.

I am a passionate educator with over a decade of experience in teaching mathematics and German at the German School in Medellin. My journey began with a degree in Business Education from Ludwig Maximilian University, where I also delved into Human Resource Management and Economic Psychology. Since 2019, I have been committed to fostering a love for learning in my students, particularly in business-related subjects.

Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles, including supervising trainee teachers and leading teams in middle and vocational schools. My experience extends to volunteering in Ecuador, where I taught English and computer classes, further enhancing my leadership and critical thinking skills. I am dedicated to creating an inclusive learning environment that empowers students, especially those without formal training.
