What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in education, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches and effective communication.

I am a dedicated academic with a PhD in Languages and Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Nairobi. My expertise lies in understanding how language influences learning across various disciplines, particularly in the humanities and sciences. I am passionate about improving educational practices through effective communication and curriculum integration.

Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a strong foundation in research and teaching. My work includes delivering lectures and tutorials, mentoring students, and contributing to faculty-led research initiatives. I have published articles that explore the intersection of language and education, particularly in the context of East Africa, and I am committed to advancing educational policies that enhance learning outcomes.
