By trade and by nature, I am a storyteller. The human capacity for learning through the art of storytelling is both as old as time and yet remains timeless. I value both expressionism and language as I believe that both are critical measures of our ability as human beings to interact and evolve. I am a fully qualified TEFL instructor and hope to leverage off of this, so as to enable as many students as possible to present their stories to as wide an audience as possible.

As of 2018, I have been employed as a management consultant within the learning and development industry. As a result, I have come to specialize in the design, development and delivery of highly effective and targeted learning solutions, spanning across a diverse demographic. Each undertaking had demanded that I not only design an experience that is immersive, but so too one that is appropriate considering the audience in question. Consequently, I have had extensive experience when designing lessons and content that caters to a variety of learning styles, academic and linguistic levels, contrasting cultures and age brackets. Further, my position had demanded that I maintain an effective interpersonal relationship with several stakeholders, meaning that my ability to adjust and acclimatize to contrasting conditions and social groups has been sharpened and should hold me in good stead considering the nature of this industry.

Further, I have subsequently been employed by ICEV and have had first-hand experience in educating students ranging from the ages of 6-12 years old. I have been entrusted with the development and implementation of some of the curriculum that had been taught across the entire institution and had been expected to develop my own independent lesson plans, content and activities
