What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a company that values inclusivity and supports professional growth, where I can contribute to employee development and organizational success.

I have successfully driven operational efficiency and improved learning outcomes, achieving a 35% increase in student test scores and a 30% reduction in employee turnover.

In my current role as an ESL Instructor and Learning Facilitator, I design and deliver engaging learning programs that build learner confidence through individualized feedback and varied strategies. My previous experience as a Workforce Coordinator allowed me to streamline employee onboarding processes, ensuring smooth transitions and operational continuity across multiple departments. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I can foster inclusive cultures and support team members in reaching their full potential.
