Summary

I bring a robust educational foundation to the table, starting with a Bachelor's degree in Earth and Life Sciences, followed by the successful completion of a Master's degree in Environmental Sciences in 2008. Subsequently, I embarked on a Ph.D. program in Biology from 2008 to 2012, showcasing my dedication to advancing my knowledge in the field. Although I didn't complete the program, this period provided me with valuable skills in scientific research and honed my critical thinking abilities.

Upon completing my academic pursuits, I entered the workforce and worked as a customer service advisor for Teleperformance until 2016. Following this, I relocated to the UK and chose to stay at home voluntarily, focusing on caring for my family.

During this period, I continued to invest in my professional development, successfully completing two Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses with Training Tale: the EYFS Teaching Diploma and a Higher-Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) course. These experiences have solidified my understanding of educational practices.

To further deepen my knowledge, I recently completed the NCFE CACHE Level 2 Adverse Childhood Experiences Online course with Stockport College, eagerly awaiting assessment results. Additionally, I am actively improving my English skills through the Level 2 Functional Skills English program with Manchester Adult Education.

Education has always been a priority in my family; my mother was a French teacher, instilling in me a deep appreciation for learning.

Now, with my daughter in school, I am eager to re-enter the workforce and share my passion for education.My unique combination of academic achievements, professional experiences, and ongoing commitment to professional development positions me as a well-rounded and dedicated candidate for roles in the education sector.
