What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to contribute to education and research while fostering cross-cultural understanding.

I am an experienced English teacher with a strong background in fostering critical thinking, research skills, and effective communication in diverse learning environments. My recent master's degree in Advanced Global Studies has deepened my passion for cross-cultural understanding through advanced academic endeavors. I am committed to making a meaningful contribution to the global community and eager to explore interdisciplinary perspectives and engage in collaborative research.

Throughout my career, I have taught English at various educational levels, from high school to primary school, and have developed and implemented lesson plans that cater to diverse learning needs. My experience includes assessing student performance, providing feedback, and developing behavior management plans to address student issues. I have also contributed to social inclusion projects in the field of immigration, supporting vulnerable populations and collaborating with educators and psychologists.
