Biography

I started in UNNC in September 2025 and have been working in various roles in the education sector prior to this. These include teaching general English, IELTS preparation and EAP in private language schools and higher education contexts in South Korea, Myanmar, Ireland, and Vietnam. I have also worked as a teacher trainer in multiple contexts including CPD in Myanmar with teacher educators for all subjects, CPD in Thailand with secondary English language teachers, and on undergraduate programmes in Ireland.
