Summary

I recently completed a Master’s degree in TESOL, underpinned by a strong academic background and a deep commitment to inclusive and equitable education. During my studies, I developed a particular interest in sociolinguistics, especially issues related to gender, equality, and inclusive practices. I am passionate about supporting diverse communities and contributing to environments where everyone feels respected, represented, and empowered. With strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset, I thrive in team settings and value working with others toward shared goals. While I am dedicated to language education, my broader aspiration is to contribute to institutions and organisations that promote equity, social justice, and community wellbeing, whether in education, advocacy, or public service.
