Profile

An experienced teacher of Science at the Secondary level, with specialisation in Chemistry, Biology, and Integrated Science, I have a passion for teaching and learning. In addition to having experience teaching at the tertiary level (Northern Caribbean University and the University of ), I have over ten years of experience teaching Science at secondary level throughout six different institutions, in three different Caribbean countries (Jamaica, Bahamas, and Belize). In that role, I have prepared students for internal and external assessments in Chemistry, Biology, and Integrated Science; taught CAPE Chemistry at the sixth form level; received training in and provided instruction using learning management systems (Microsoft Teams and Moodle); utilized differentiated instruction and assessment for learning strategies; attended various workshops on laboratory experimental skills; promoted students’ academic achievement and ICT skills; taken students on various field trips; and facilitated the development of leadership skills, public speaking skills, as well as sports skills within my students. As a demonstration of my commitment to continuous professional growth while remaining relevant in the field, I am currently undertaking an MA in Education (Innovation in Learning and Teaching) with the University of South Wales online (to be completed in December 2020).
