What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and fosters emotional development in education.

I am a passionate educator with over 10 years of international experience in early and primary education, teacher training, and emotional development. My expertise lies in innovative methodologies, music-based learning, social-emotional learning (SEL), and neuroeducation. I thrive in multicultural settings and remote teaching formats, combining creativity, structure, and care to foster inclusive, student-centered environments.

In my current role as a Teacher Trainer and Course Developer at Europass Teacher Academy, I deliver professional development courses to European educators, focusing on emotional intelligence, resilience, and collaboration. My commitment to quality is reflected in the 97% client satisfaction rate I have achieved. Additionally, I have designed and facilitated engaging content and methodologies for both online and face-to-face trainings, utilizing interactive EdTech tools to enhance learning experiences.

Previously, I served as an Early Childhood Music Teacher, where I designed music-based stimulation sessions that promoted cognitive, emotional, and language development in young children. My academic background includes a Master in Music Therapy and degrees in Educational Psychology and Educational Sciences, equipping me with a solid foundation to support diverse learning needs and implement pedagogical innovations effectively.
