What I'm looking for

I seek teaching and interpretation roles where I can use inclusive TESL methods, support neurodivergent learners, and contribute to program development and outreach.

I am an M.Sc. in English Language and Literature with classroom and online teaching experience, specialized in TESL and inclusive practices for neurodivergent learners.

I have provided English instruction at university level, private and online tutoring, and developed tailored lesson plans that support measurable student progress.

As a translator and interpreter I have delivered simultaneous and consecutive interpretation for festivals, press events and university functions, working across English, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian and Turkish.

I also bring experience in event organization, project management and social media management, and I am committed to evidence-based, student-centered language teaching that improves access and outcomes.
