What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support diverse learners through strong writing instruction, intercultural communication, and thoughtful curriculum and assessment design—while collaborating with a team that values student growth, creativity, and continuous improvement.

I’m a resourceful educator and writing specialist with experience developing course materials, aids, and assessments in dynamic and diverse university settings. I lead student-centered learning in writing, reading, speaking, and listening, and I’m known for intercultural communication, diplomacy, and strong student support that builds confidence and results. From tutoring and faculty training to leading IELTS writing instruction and revamping outdated curricula, I translate clear objectives into measurable achievement.

Highlights include delivering individualized instruction to 120+ students, improving intrinsic motivation and test scores, and implementing context-based learning and test prep that drove a 65% increased pass rate on final exams. I’ve also supported large cohorts (up to 400) with materials for communication, critical thinking, and academic writing, and improved performance through instructional strategies that reached a 92% matriculation rate. In my current role as an Administrative Coordinator, I extend that same organization and communication strength by managing logistics, collaborating cross-functionally, and designing professional documents using Canva and Visme.
