What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovation and professional growth.

I am a passionate educator with a strong background in Physical Sciences and Life Sciences, having taught at various secondary schools across South Africa. My journey began with a BSc in Biochemistry and Microbiology, followed by a Postgraduate Diploma in Tertiary Education, which equipped me with the skills to develop effective curricula and engage students in meaningful learning experiences.

Throughout my career, I have taken on leadership roles, including serving as the Departmental Head for Physical Sciences. My commitment to fostering a positive learning environment has led to significant achievements, such as producing the top learner in Gauteng for Physical Sciences in 2021. I am dedicated to continuous professional development and collaboration with colleagues to enhance educational standards.
