What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovative teaching methods and promotes inclusive learning environments.

I am a results-driven educator and learning designer with a strong foundation in developing inclusive and impactful learning experiences. My expertise lies in creating structured, data-informed, and digitally delivered content that drives engagement and measurable outcomes. I am certified in Instructional Design and skilled in using frameworks like ADDIE, learning experience design (LxD), and curriculum mapping.

Throughout my career, I have transformed complex information into accessible and visually engaging learning journeys for diverse audiences. My experience as a Secondary School Teacher has allowed me to develop end-to-end learning journeys that scaffold knowledge and skills, contributing to strong coursework outcomes and improved assessment performance. I have a proven track record of fostering inclusive learning environments and collaborating with stakeholders to align curriculum with school priorities.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have designed and facilitated thought-provoking lessons in Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics, encouraging critical thinking and structured debate. I am passionate about using innovative digital tools to enhance learning and have successfully implemented formative assessment strategies to measure learning impact and adapt instruction accordingly.
