What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values creativity and professional growth.

As a dedicated educator and writer, I have cultivated a rich background in teaching and creative expression. With a Master’s degree in Creative Writing and extensive experience in various educational settings, I have developed unique curriculums that inspire students to engage deeply with literature and media. My teaching philosophy emphasizes collaboration and creativity, fostering an environment where students can thrive academically and personally.

In addition to my teaching roles, I have actively contributed to the literary community through my work as a writer and editor. I have published numerous works, including poetry, fiction, and translations, and have organized art shows and writing workshops that connect aspiring writers with established voices in the field. My commitment to nurturing creativity extends beyond the classroom, as I lead clubs and community initiatives that promote artistic expression and collaboration.
