What I'm looking for

I seek roles in education, laboratory or research settings where I can apply teaching experience, laboratory skills, and strong communication to improve outcomes and grow professionally.

I am a Biochemistry and Microbiology graduate registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa, with extensive classroom experience teaching Natural Sciences, Technology and related subjects across grades 4–11. I have designed and delivered CAPS-aligned lessons, implemented inclusive strategies, led experiments and research projects, and applied TEFL training to enhance communication and learner engagement.

My background also includes sales, client relationship management and administrative roles where I streamlined processes, managed records and delivered consultative service. I am data- and research-oriented, skilled in laboratory techniques and scientific analysis, and committed to driving student success and contributing to education or research-focused teams.
