Descripción

I am a Cambridge University graduate and have spent most of my career in senior British Council roles outside the UK: in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, working in education, training, human rights and cultural relations. I am a strong believer in the power of people-to-people links to bring understanding and build peace.

I have taught English around the world and have extensive experience in communications, advocacy, fundraising and not-for-profit governance.

I am English mother tongue and also speak French and Italian fluently; I can teach both these languages. I have some Spanish and Portuguese. I am interested in improving my level in these languages and learning Japanese.

In London where I am based I am involved with an outdoor puppet theatre and a child literacy project, alongside volunteering for the Red Cross and for Crisis, the UK charity campaigning to end homelessness.

In 2022 I travelled to Ghana on a business development assignment for Dream Big Ghana NGO. Later in the year I supported a female empowerment organisation in the Siwa oasis in Egypt by mentoring on strategy and fundraising efforts. In early 2023 I taught English on an eco-tourism project in the Galapagos Islands and advised them on marketing and improving the visitor experience. I also provided coaching on presentations in English. In late 2023, I undertook two assignments in Senegal: firstly in Dakar, teaching English and Italian to children and adults, and then in Saint Louis where I supported a charitable foundation on fundraising.

Please refer to the reviews of my workaway assignments (all 5*).

I am interested in a workaway stay in autumn 2024.. I am open to any destination.
