My Expertise
Since completing my graduate and postgraduate studies, I have specialized in three main areas: teaching, project management, and curriculum development. Discover more about my expertise in these fields below.
Teaching
Over the past several years, I have dedicated myself to teaching IB MYP Science and Chemistry to middle and high school students. My primary goal in the classroom is to facilitate student learning through hands-on experimentation and the application of real-life scenarios.
Project Management
​After completing my undergraduate degree in chemistry, I pursued a Ph.D. and subsequently a postdoctoral fellowship in the same field. This academic journey equipped me with the expertise to manage and execute projects effectively. Currently, I serve as a Personal Project Coordinator, guiding MYP students in achieving their goals.
Curriculum Development
Combining experience in academia and the classroom has been essential in developing my expertise in curriculum development. Currently, I focus on creating innovative educational initiatives aligned with the IB MYP framework to provide students with a stimulating, well-rounded education.
