What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I design inclusive curricula, support literacy and assessment, and work in student-centered, collaborative school environments with growth opportunities.

I am a bilingual English teacher with extensive international classroom experience and a strong focus on inclusive curriculum design. I hold a Bachelor of Education and an Honours in English Language Education, and I am completing an M.Ed in Curriculum Design for Inclusive Education with a 4.0 GPA.

I have taught English, IELTS, math and science across preschool to middle/secondary levels in Vietnam and remotely, led Cambridge curriculum instruction, and developed orientation and club programs. I am student-centered, assessment-focused, and committed to creating positive, barrier-free learning environments.
