Biography

I completed my post graduate Bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of British Columbia, Canada. I am qualified and certified to teach K-12, and specialize in Self-Regulated Learning, Science, Math, and Middle Years Instruction. 

My aim as an educator is to help students become intrinsically motivated, independent, life-long learners, which I believe is possible through reflective practices, active inquiry, exploration, collaborative learning, and the application of learning to various situations and scenarios outside the classroom setting.

I have a passion for integrating technology in the classroom. I frequently attended the university’s technology workshops and tech-related professional development courses, and have used various technologies in the classroom to enhance and transform student work, such as cloud-based collaborative brainstorming, screen casting apps, and the use of QR codes in total physical response activities.  I recognize the importance of connecting learners with experts around the world, and I value technology’s role in facilitating these global connections. In my spare time, I tinker with programming and microcomputers.

I have a background in science, currently live in Dakar, Senegal, and am working for the International School of Dakar.
