What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote opportunities in data annotation and AI development, where I can apply my skills and passion for education.

I am a purpose-driven student teacher trainee at Othaya Boys’ High School, specializing in Business Studies and Geography. My passion lies in inclusive learning and exploring the integration of AI in education. Currently, I am part of the Global Mentorship Program, focusing on data annotation and AI development, particularly in the Swahili language.

Throughout my journey, I have gained valuable experience in youth leadership facilitation through the TLX program and have actively engaged in academic initiatives like the Business Olympiad. My teaching practice has allowed me to develop lesson plans and instructional materials that align with CBC standards, demonstrating my commitment to educational excellence and student support.
