What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles that offer flexible collaboration with global ed-tech teams.

I am an experienced Curriculum Designer and E-learning Content Developer with over 22 years of expertise in creating engaging and pedagogically sound math content for school curricula and skill-based learning platforms. My journey has been marked by a commitment to instructional design, assessment development, and simulation-based learning, which I believe are crucial for effective education.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led various projects, including the development of a Learning Progression Framework for a vocational training app at Xperial Learning. My role as Project Manager at Advantage Learning Systems allowed me to manage cross-functional teams and optimize processes, earning me recognition as 'Star of ALS' and 'Employee of the Quarter'. I am passionate about contributing to forward-thinking educational platforms globally and am currently seeking remote opportunities that align with my skills and values.
