What I'm looking for

I seek teaching or research roles that prioritize inclusive, practical pedagogy, opportunities to use data and digital tools, support professional growth, and value student-centred outcomes.

I am an adaptable, learner-centred Further Education Tutor and University Lecturer with over four years of experience supporting post-secondary, adult, and community learners. I blend practical skills development, digital tools, and real-life application in my teaching.

I am registered with the Teaching Council of Ireland to teach Economics and have taught Economics, Business and Project-based learning across higher education institutions. I have integrated Stata and SPSS into coursework to develop students' research and analytical capacity.

My academic background includes an ongoing PhD in Economics, an MSc and BSc in Economics, and postgraduate training in education; I have contributed to curriculum development, research assistance, and measurable improvements in student engagement and understanding.

I have published multiple peer-reviewed articles, secured research funding as a co-researcher, and hold certifications in field research and data analytics. I am available for remote teaching initially and open to relocation for in-person roles.
