What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can combine teaching and communication expertise—education-focused, collaborative teams that value community impact, curriculum development, and opportunities for program growth.

I am a passionate communicator and educator with a BCom in Communication Management, a PGCE, and TEFL certification, bringing years of classroom and online teaching experience combined with marketing and project coordination expertise. I consistently deliver high-quality teaching, training and written communication, and have a track record of managing events, income-generation projects and marketing initiatives to successful outcomes.

I have led national presentations, edited and transcribed a published book, organized large community outreach events, and driven product marketing and coordination roles within publishing and nonprofit settings. I work well under pressure, am computer literate, IELTS/TOEIC/CUP/CAPS trained, and thrive in roles that blend education, communication and community development.
