What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can teach or advise students, create written content, and contribute to team projects in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am an energetic self-starter with experience in teaching, student advising, and customer relations, complemented by a strong background in writing and content creation. I hold an honours degree focused on Global Challenges and have a proven record of improving student outcomes, supporting 300+ students in community programs, and producing published novels for international readers.

I excel at communication, curriculum support, and managing student welfare, and I bring practical skills in data analytics (SPSS, R), project coordination, and strategic planning. I collaborate effectively with teams to boost engagement and outcomes and consistently receive outstanding feedback for my teaching and advisory roles.
