Ecologist and environmental educator with 5 years of teaching experience and hands-on science laboratory skills.
MozambiqueWhat I'm looking for
I’m an ecologist focused on the study and preservation of the environment, grounded in academic training in Ecology and Conservation of Terrestrial Biodiversity. I bring solid practical experience and a clear commitment to environmental and scientific learning that benefits both students and communities.
For the past 5 years, I’ve worked as an Assistant Teacher, preparing and organizing materials, marking activities and tests, and mediating conflicts between students. I also provide individual students with educational and socio-emotional support to reduce anxiety and stress levels in classes.
In parallel, I’m a Science Laboratory Technician and support science learning through science laboratory management, preparation of teaching materials and scientific experiments, and development of science activities. I’m comfortable translating scientific concepts into engaging, age-appropriate classroom experiences.
As an activist and volunteer, I develop activities across education, environment, health, human rights, and youth/community empowerment. I’m looking for a role where I can combine ecological expertise with practical education—helping people learn, grow, and take meaningful action for the environment.
