What I'm looking for

I’m looking for senior leadership roles in education where I can scale accredited programs, build industry partnerships, ensure quality and compliance, and drive digital learning innovation that improves student outcomes and retention.

I’m an accomplished education professional with 19+ years of experience in academic leadership, training & development, operations management, and strategic partnerships. I focus on curriculum design, accreditation compliance, and faculty/stakeholder leadership to improve student success and organizational performance.

Most recently, I’m serving as Principal & Head of Partnerships at AURAVISION ACADEMY, spearheading the launch of future-facing Game Development and XR education while building a sustainable business model and industry co-creation network. Previously, I scaled enrollments with a 30% student enrolment increase through new course launches at Africa Digital Media Institute, led an accredited international MBA program, and drove transitions to online learning—ensuring quality, retention, and business continuity.
