What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-oriented role where I can drive sales and operations, mentor teams, and use my language training skills to add customer and learner value.

I am a results-driven business development professional and language trainer with experience driving revenue growth, lead generation, operations and customer relationships across technology and training organisations.

I have led sales and centre management initiatives, converted enquiries into registrations, managed projects and staff, and implemented process improvements that increased efficiency and profitability.

As a certified DELF B2 French instructor who also teaches Dutch, I design engaging lesson plans, assess progress, and use immersive techniques to raise student retention and language proficiency.
