As an innovative, dedicated and passionate academic leader and educator, I bring over 20 years of experience and expertise in lesson planning and delivery, curriculum development and differential instruction. My vision and strength as an academic leader, accentuated by strategic foresight, enable me to significantly enhance education outcomes while consistently driving innovation and continuous improvement.
Embracing and upholding the very essence of responsibility, commitment, accountability and integrity, I set an example of high-quality performance in standards and leadership whilst creating constant improvement within a conducive learning environment. With this, I utilise various instructional strategies and resources to respond to people’s diverse needs. As an individual committed to propelling institutions towards higher peaks of success, I leverage my knowledge and understanding of appropriate learning, teaching, support and assessment methods that enhance learning outcomes, utilising evidence-based educational methodology. Highly visible, supportive and approachable, I am committed to fostering a culture of teamwork, shared mission and dedication to excellence. I approach work with a creative, problem-solving mindset that promotes teamwork and values different perspectives.
A confident, articulate and thoughtful communicator, both verbally and in writing, I am talented in engaging with and establishing productive relationships with all levels of stakeholders in a diverse setting. I am educationally astute and passionate about making a difference in education, fuelled by my genuine fondness for working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. My emotional resilience and flexible and adaptable style allow me to accommodate changing priorities and working patterns. I possess a strong work ethic complemented by openness to feedback and collaboration, working efficiently and effectively even under demanding situations with creativity, tolerance and integrity. I am constantly trying new approaches, advancing and improving my learning and development.
