EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a social worker and primary school teacher with over three years of teaching, tutoring, and community-based service experience. I combine classroom instruction with counseling, child protection, and community mobilization to support holistic student development.
I have provided psychosocial support during public-health crises, assessed and intervened for orphans and vulnerable children, and delivered home-based tutoring while working closely with NGOs and schools. My academic background in social work (BA, GPA 3.66) underpins evidence-informed interventions and strong data-collection skills.
I am driven to facilitate equal opportunities for disadvantaged groups, advocate for gender equity, and create supportive ecosystems for students with disabilities. I bring strong interpersonal, organizational, and problem-solving abilities to every role.
