What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in education, focusing on curriculum development and professional growth.

I am an experienced educator and operations specialist dedicated to enhancing educational standards and student success. With a strong background in curriculum design and development, I have successfully led various educational programs in South Africa, utilizing data-driven strategies to improve processes and outcomes. My commitment to raising educational standards is evident in my work, where I have facilitated diverse teaching and learning styles, mentored peers, and trained educators in modern technology and operational procedures.

In my current role at Classcipe, I oversee the planning and execution of educational initiatives, ensuring that all services and materials align with our mission. My experience as an isiZulu teacher at Redhill School has further honed my instructional skills, where I integrated technology into lessons to engage students and foster a deeper understanding of the language and its cultural significance. I thrive in collaborative environments, partnering with educators globally to exchange innovative strategies for curriculum design and professional development.
