What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in educational technology and promotes collaborative learning environments.

With over a decade of global experience in education and technology, I am driven by a mission to transform learning environments in today’s digital age. My career has spanned diverse regions, including Africa, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and America, where I’ve worked across early childhood education, tertiary institutions, and corporate training environments. Currently, as the Head of Information Technology at an emerging International group of Institutions, I lead strategic digital transformation initiatives that empower educators and enhance learning outcomes.

My expertise lies in developing and implementing comprehensive IT strategies that align with educational goals. I have honed my skills in various systems and platforms, including Learning Management Systems (LMS), Learning Experience Platforms (LXP), and Student Information Systems (SIS). My proficiency in tools like Articulate 360, Moodle, and Canvas has enabled me to create engaging, interactive content that enhances learner engagement and optimizes educational experiences.
