Professional Summary
I am a compassionate and problem-solving individual with a strong passion for fostering language development, rooted in my experience teaching English as a second language in Nepal and Mozambique. My practical classroom experience includes designing lesson plans for varied age groups and proficiency levels and managing diverse classrooms. I have completed a TEFL course, recently upgrading it to a TEFL diploma to deepen my understanding of linguistics and educational principles.
In my professional journey, I have had the privilege of assisting with science camps, leading masterclasses, and facilitating design challenges in schools. As a clinical scientist, I taught both the theoretical and practical aspects of vascular ultrasound to healthcare professionals, honing my skills in communication and people management. I am adept at creating inclusive and supportive learning environments through varied teaching strategies.
Background
I hold a degree in Product Design Engineering from Napier University, where I completed a final project developing a cost-effective prosthetic hand aimed at accessibility. My career began in product design at an electronic telecommunications company, specializing in radar director housing. Seeking a more impactful role, I joined the NHS Clinical Scientist program, earning a Master's in Biomedical Engineering and achieving Chartered Scientist accreditation.
At Salisbury District Hospital, I received extensive training in assistive technology, biomechanics, and medical design innovation. Over the past nine years in a diagnostic vascular ultrasound department, I developed strong verbal and written communication, organizational, and management skills while also engaging in teaching. In my most recent role within the NHS, I focused on wheelchair design and engineering principles to enhance seating and posture in the Mobility and Rehabilitation department.
Currently residing in Hong Kong, I hold a dependent working visa and possess British nationality. I am eager to leverage my diverse skills and experiences to contribute positively to educational and healthcare environments.
