What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design impactful learning experiences, integrate edtech and data-driven methods, mentor learners, and contribute to curriculum innovation and research.

I am an experienced mathematics lecturer and educational researcher with a strong background in instructional and curriculum design, educational technology, and data-driven approaches to improve student engagement and outcomes.

I have designed and facilitated undergraduate and secondary mathematics modules, developed syllabi and assessments aligned with learning outcomes, and mentored students while integrating digital tools such as Moodle, Edmodo and Bubble.io into learning experiences.

My research experience includes field data collection and analysis using SPSS and Excel, report writing with practical recommendations, and founding Math Genius AI, an AI-powered no-code tutoring platform to expand access to mathematics learning.
