Profile Summary

I have over 14 years of professional experience in education, academic research support, and programme development across university, foundation, and international contexts. My work combines teaching, research, evaluation, and academic writing support, with a strong focus on evidence-based practice and learner-centred approaches. My professional experience includes teaching English for Academic Purposes (EAP), Academic English, Linguistics, Business English, and IELTS/TOEFL preparation to multilingual learners in higher education settings. Alongside teaching, I have been actively involved in curriculum development, assessment design, and quality assurance, supporting students’ academic literacy, research skills, and academic integrity. I regularly design and deliver learning interventions informed by research and evaluation findings. In terms of research and evaluation, I have served as a research reviewer, evaluating academic manuscripts, research proposals, and scholarly outputs across education, linguistics, and social sciences. I have contributed to literature reviews, policy analysis, and analytical reporting, applying qualitative and mixed-methods approaches. My research interests include education policy, multilingual education, academic literacy, programme evaluation, and learning outcomes, with particular attention to equity, inclusion, and international education contexts. Ongoing work includes reviewing education-focused research and supporting knowledge production aligned with development and higher education priorities. My skills include research design, qualitative and quantitative analysis, academic writing and editing, programme evaluation, instructional design, and stakeholder communication. I am experienced in producing clear, high-quality reports, research briefs, and learning materials for diverse audiences, including academics, practitioners, and policy stakeholders. I am also confident working with digital learning platforms and collaborative research environments. Academically, I hold an MA in Linguistics, a TEFL Diploma, and a Professional Educator Diploma, providing a strong theoretical foundation in language acquisition, pedagogy, and research methodology. My education and professional experience have been shaped by work in multicultural and international settings, strengthening my cross-cultural awareness, adaptability, and collaborative skills. Overall, my work reflects a commitment to rigorous research, high-quality education, and continuous professional growth, with a focus on contributing meaningfully to learning, evaluation, and knowledge-generation initiatives.
