Summary

I am a self-motivated and friendly person with significant teaching skills and office experience. I have worked with children from the age of three to young adults of seventeen years and have proven to be competent despite arising challenges. I have taught in both public and private schools in Kenya and in France. I have also worked as an assistant administrator at the Korean language and culture center at Kenyatta University. I am teamwork oriented, motivated, reliable and trustworthy as commended by colleagues in institutions that I have worked in. I would love to further nourish my skills in the teaching field and I believe I can be an important asset if given the opportunity.
