Professional Development

One of the most important parts of my responsibilities as an educator is on-going professional development. Through conferences, webinars, and workshops, I've learnt from some of the best in the international education community. I've also been blessed with opportunities to share my experiences and insights. You can find them on this page - some are workshop slides that I created and used, others are videos or links to the recording of workshops I've taken part in.

In addition, I've added a few projects I completed as a part of my Bachelor's and Master'ss degree. In my Master's programme, I had agency in the topics for each assignment. This gave me an opportunity to dive deeper into topics I was curious and/or passionate about. I hope that this page and the project it contains give you an idea of who I am and the kind of work you can expect from me at your school to contribute to your professional community.
