What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to innovate in education, focusing on AI integration and curriculum development.

I am an Education Specialist and AI Integration Consultant committed to merging traditional pedagogy with innovative AI tools. My expertise lies in curriculum development, teacher training, and creating AI-driven educational solutions. I am passionate about fostering inclusive, technology-enhanced learning environments that cater to diverse student populations.

Currently, I work as a Freelance Education Consultant with the Oxford EdTech Collective, where I train over 20 educators annually on the adoption of AI tools like ChatGPT for lesson planning. My previous experience as an ESL Instructor at the Oxford Language Academy allowed me to teach more than 100 adult learners, pioneering a hybrid AI/human tutoring model that improved student retention by 30%. I have also developed numerous AI-augmented lesson plans and educational resources tailored for NGOs and ed-tech startups.

My notable projects include the SwahiliBot Initiative, where I built a free AI chatbot for Swahili learners, and the Oxford Digital Literacy Drive, which provides AI-tailored resources for refugee students. I am dedicated to analyzing AI's role in reducing educational disparities, particularly in ESL/EFL contexts, and I actively contribute to discussions on ethical AI use in education through my publications.
