What I'm looking for

I seek a student-centered school role where I can lead curriculum, mentor staff, and develop learners through assessments and co-curricular programs.

I am an experienced ESL and homeroom teacher who plans and delivers engaging English, Social Studies, STEM, and health lessons aligned with international curricula (Australian, Singaporean, Curriculum of England, Washington State standards). I have taught Years 3–8 and K–5 across international schools and adult learners, and I design formative and summative assessments to track progress.

I have led departments and programs, including serving as Head English Teacher, Head Teacher for an LSEN class, Safeguarding Lead, and OBV representative, and I coach multiple sports teams (basketball, cricket, rugby, athletics). I founded a cricket academy and have run summer camps and extracurricular programs, demonstrating leadership in both academic and co-curricular contexts.

I hold a B.Ed and a Bachelor’s in Global English Language Instructor and Teacher Education, completed TEFL and IPC training, and received a Top Teacher Award. I seek roles where I can continue to develop learners, mentor staff, and contribute to a supportive, student-centered school community.
