What I'm looking for

I seek a role in education or coordination where I can apply creative ESL pedagogy, support student growth, collaborate with teachers, and expand my translation and leadership skills.

I am an experienced English as a Second Language teacher and academic coordinator with postgraduate training in Translation (Portuguese and English) and a bachelor’s degree in Education. I have over five years of classroom and coordination experience designing playful, student-centered lessons and managing pedagogical activities.

As an Academic Coordinator and Assistant Pedagogical Coordinator, I organized schedules, maintained pedagogical records, coordinated extracurricular activities, and led teacher meetings while providing consistent follow-up for students and parents. I emphasize empathy, adaptability, and community to create welcoming, motivating learning environments.

I am passionate about written communication, creative teaching methods, and language learning; I seek opportunities to grow professionally, contribute ideas for improving teaching and learning, and continue developing my translation and multilingual skills.
