What I'm looking for

I’m looking to teach Physics and Chemistry while leading practical STEM learning—especially sustainability projects like rammed earth and solar irrigation. I want a school that values ICT integration, real-world problem solving, and student support.

I’m a Physics and Chemistry teacher with 18 years’ experience under TSC, grounded in strong classroom and laboratory practice. I focus on helping learners understand science through clear teaching and hands-on learning.

I hold a Diploma in Science Education and a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, and I bring practical engineering thinking into STEM education. I’m especially passionate about sustainability and translating real-world systems into engaging lessons.

I also take on leadership and support roles, including Leadership ICT Coordinator and Head of Science Pathway. Beyond the classroom, I’ve served as Class Teacher, Peer Counsellor, and Music teacher using African instruments, while also coaching basketball and working as a regional referee.

My practical STEM interests include rammed earth construction, solar irrigation, drip irrigation, solar pumping, woodworking, and environmental conservation. I’ve built a compressed earth block home and I’m constructing a semi-stabilised rammed earth home, with ongoing organic irrigation and woodworking projects that connect learning to impact.
