With a background in children's cardiac critical care nursing, a Level 5 TEFL certificate, and primary school work experience completed as part of my MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health, I bring a distinctive combination of clinical expertise, classroom exposure, and a deep understanding of how children learn and develop. My current role as a project associate in clinical research has further strengthened my ability to plan, structure, and evaluate — skills that translate directly into lesson design and tracking learner progress.
I am a confident, organised leader with a warm and approachable manner, and I am genuinely passionate about children's development. Years of working in high-pressure clinical environments have made me calm under pressure, highly adaptable, and attuned to the needs of young people. From this experience, I quickly notice when a child is struggling and respond with sensitivity and action. My MSc equips me to support learners' emotional wellbeing alongside their academic progress, which I see as inseparable in effective teaching. I am also experienced in cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary settings, comfortable working with diverse groups, and able to adapt my communication style to suit different needs. Finally, I am digitally competent, with experience across data management systems and collaborative tools in both clinical and research contexts.

I'm an energetic and outgoing 3D Game Artist who loves creating worlds just as much as I love exploring the real one; whether that's practicing yoga, training Muay Thai, hitting the gym, or traveling the globe. I recently graduated with a Bachelor's in Visual Arts, and I bring the same teamwork and problem solving skills I learned on game projects like Katar into every room I enter. With over 1,000 films logged on Letterboxd, I'm full of stories and always ready to chat about anything from animation to adventure. I keep things light, creative, and positive, and I have a real knack for making people feel comfortable and excited to learn. Professionally, I'm skilled in Maya, ZBrush, Blender, Substance Suite, Unreal, Unity, and digital/traditional painting but more than that, I know how to listen, laugh, and bring out the best in a team, especially in a room full of curious young minds.

I am patient, inquisitive, and willing to try new things. I strive to keep my communication concise, clear, and simple. My strength is that I do my best to connect with other people and it is important to learn about other cultures.

A Languages graduate with a PGCE in French and Russian, I bring a strong international profile shaped by academic excellence and hands-on experience across the UK, France, and Hong Kong. My professional background spans education, programme coordination, and student engagement, including designing curricula, leading enrichment programmes, and managing large-scale events. I have consistently worked in fast-paced, multicultural environments, developing initiatives that improve student confidence, participation, and outcomes. Alongside this, I have maintained a long-standing freelance tuition practice, adapting to diverse learning needs and supporting high academic achievement.

I am an energetic, outward-facing professional who thrives in dynamic, people-focused environments. I bring a natural ability to build rapport, motivate others, and create engaging, inclusive experiences. Highly adaptable and internationally minded, I am comfortable navigating new contexts, leading initiatives, and working both independently and collaboratively. I value clear structure and purpose, while maintaining a positive, solutions-oriented approach.

My core strengths lie in communication, organisation, and interpersonal impact. I combine strong presentation and facilitation skills with experience in programme delivery, events management, and social media engagement. I am confident working across cultures and disciplines, with proven ability to coordinate stakeholders, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality outcomes. My additional training in counselling, wellbeing, and neurodiversity provisions further strengthens my ability to support individuals effectively and thoughtfully.

My experience spans over four years of English language teaching across tutoring, literacy programmes, and public education — complemented by a CELTA from the University of Cambridge and a background in marketing management. I’ve worked with primary-aged children, adult international learners, and large public audiences, which means I’m comfortable adapting to learners of very different nationalities, abilities, and goals.

In terms of personality, I’m naturally curious about people and the world — I hold dual citizenship, love to travel, and genuinely believe in cross-cultural understanding. That outlook makes multicultural classrooms feel like home rather than a challenge. I’m also organised and detail-oriented, shaped by years of deadline-driven communications work.

My core skills include learner-centred curriculum development, one-on-one and group instruction, and clear public presentation. My marketing career added precision in written communication and confidence with administrative tasks like record-keeping and reporting — so I’m equally comfortable in the classroom and behind the scenes.
