Experienced teacher and former naval aviation officer with strong IT and programming skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a university-educated teacher and former Naval Flight Officer with extensive experience in secondary education, technical roles, and aviation safety. I combine classroom teaching in math, English, physics and introductory IT with hands-on technical and supervisory experience from industry and the military.
In education I have taught at Fjölbrautaskóli Suðurnesja, Menntaskólinn Ásbrú, Keilir and in adult distance learning, delivering courses in Math, English, Physics and Computer Programming (C#, C++, Python). I design lessons for both in-person and remote students and have experience teaching in both Icelandic and English.
From 1998–2007 I served as a Naval Officer and Naval Flight Officer in the P-3C Orion, including duties as Aviation Safety Officer at NAS Keflavik, providing aviation safety oversight and technical advisory. In industry roles I have worked as a Software QA Tester, IT Administrator, and Supervisor of a technical library supporting aircraft maintenance documentation.
I am results-driven, resourceful and adaptable, comfortable working independently or collaboratively, and committed to driving student and organizational success. I enjoy travel, music (trumpet, flugelhorn, saxophone, harmonica) and continual learning in technology and education.
