What I'm looking for

Seeking opportunities in education, technology, ICT, training and leadership. I value innovation, teamwork, professional growth, and social impact. Open to local and international roles where I can apply my skills, develop new expertise, lead meaningful projects, and contribute practical solutions that deliver measurable results.

I am an education and technology professional with experience in teaching, school management, digital skills training and youth development. I hold a degree in Computing and a Technical Teacher’s Diploma in methodology, and I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Education. I have several years of teaching experience and currently contribute to the management and development of a technical and vocational training institution.

My interests include educational technology, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, web development, entrepreneurship, leadership, international education, and youth empowerment. I enjoy developing practical learning programs that equip young people with relevant skills for employment and entrepreneurship.

I have experience developing curricula, coordinating educational projects, training students in computer-related skills, promoting skills-development initiatives, and creating digital content for education and professional development. I am particularly interested in opportunities involving education, technology, training, innovation, and community development.

I am motivated by opportunities where I can apply my technical and leadership skills, learn from diverse professionals, contribute to meaningful projects, and create measurable social and educational impact.
