Summary
Education and language are my passion! As a writer, I have a keen eye for detail, and as a teacher, I have an excellent sense of the needs of learners. I find it exciting to create culturally sensitive and impactful content, addressing topics that are relevant in today's world. I work independently, but also enjoy being part of a team whose members support and inspire one another.
