What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to impact education positively and promote gender equality.

I am a hardworking and determined professional with extensive experience in education. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education and a T2 Certificate for Primary teaching, which have equipped me with the skills necessary to make a significant impact in the classroom. My goal is to leverage my capabilities and experiences to contribute positively to society, particularly in areas of education, gender equality, and human rights.

Throughout my career, I have successfully introduced and developed early childhood development concepts, reaching over 500 children in various communities. I have also managed to support a disability-learning program, ensuring an inclusive learning environment for 20 children with disabilities. My leadership skills have been demonstrated through the management of 10 interns, providing them with professional training for capacity building.
