Matthew Joy
@matthewjoy
I am an organized leader skilled in teaching, logistics, and international relations.
What I'm looking for
I am inspired by finding new ways to solve problems and improving the skills of others and my own. My academic background in International Relations and Media Studies shapes an analytical approach to systems, trade networks, and political economy.
I have classroom experience as a Teaching Assistant working with students aged 4–17, covering absences, managing fritids schedules, and coordinating school trips. I adapt quickly to behavioural and learning needs to maintain productive, inclusive environments.
As an English Language Trainer I taught business-level English to managerial clients, focusing on communication, professional writing, and presentation skills. In operations I led a team of 15 as Head of Warehouse, helping develop stock management techniques to meet KPIs during peak demand.
I bring practical leadership, logistics, and communication skills and thrive in roles that combine organisation, training, and cross-cultural collaboration. I seek opportunities to mentor others, drive operational improvements, and deliver measurable results.
