What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cultural exchange and fosters student engagement.

I am an English teacher with extensive experience in diverse cultural settings. My journey began in Beijing, where I taught at Beijing Sports University and later at the International Language School. These experiences allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for the nuances of language and the importance of empathy in teaching.

My career continued in Bogotá, Colombia, where I taught at Colegio de Granada and engaged in home schooling. This role enhanced my adaptability and reinforced my belief in the joy of teaching. Most recently, I served as an Administrator at Maple Bear Canadian Schools in Istanbul, where I honed my leadership and organizational skills.
