Dedicated educator with expertise in inclusive pedagogy and ESL teaching.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate educator currently pursuing a PhD in Education with a focus on Adult Learning and Education. My journey in teaching began in Bethlehem, where I developed innovative teaching methods as a 5th-grade teacher and later as an English instructor for teachers. I have consistently maintained high engagement scores in my online English teaching role with VIPKid, demonstrating my commitment to student success.
My academic background includes a Master's in International Cooperation and Development and a Bachelor's in Urban Studies, both of which have enriched my understanding of diverse educational contexts. I have contributed to the field through various publications and conference presentations, emphasizing the importance of integrating art-based methods in STEM education. I am dedicated to fostering inclusive learning environments and continuously seek opportunities to enhance my pedagogical skills.
