What I'm looking for

I seek a role in bilingual secondary education where I can lead CLIL initiatives, coordinate international projects, mentor colleagues, and use digital and active methodologies to foster student engagement and growth.

I am a proactive and organized educator with over 15 years' experience teaching English and music in bilingual secondary and high school programs, coordinating Erasmus+ projects, and leading intercultural and methodological initiatives. I design engaging, student-centered classrooms, prepare students for conservatory and Trinity exams, and organize performances and international exchanges.

I combine strong communication, leadership, and digital teaching skills with hands-on experience in curriculum coordination, CLIL methodology, and educational innovation. I enjoy fostering inclusive learning environments, mentoring colleagues, and using technology and active methodologies to motivate students and improve outcomes.
