About Me
Experienced, creative, organized and rigorous, self-motivated and excellent motivator, I have been praised for my approach, my professional self-evaluation and my rapport with students. I have been teaching a variety of subjects, with a focus on Languages and Design. I am a Pamoja Education online teacher and have participated in the creation of an award winning bilingual MOOC program with La Sorbonne University. I am keen to get involved in IT Integration and EdTech projects. I have started a Media Information Literacy project with a local NGO to raise awareness on leprosy and I am currently a Whole School Digital Coordinator to consolidate the post-COVID19 digital tool integration.
