About
I am a qualified and licensed secondary school educator with six years of teaching experience, specializing in Biology and Geography. I hold a Bachelor of Education (Science) from the University of Nairobi and a completed Master’s degree in Environmental Science from Kenyatta University. I am registered with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in Kenya and have completed my international academic credential evaluation.
I currently work full-time as a Biology Teacher and Class Teacher at St. Bakhita Kiburai Girls Secondary School, where I have been employed since January 2021. My responsibilities include planning and delivering engaging lessons, preparing students for examinations, conducting practical laboratory activities, assessing student progress, providing individualized academic support and maintaining positive relationships with students, parents and colleagues. I also have previous professional experience with Kenya Literature Bureau, where I worked in marketing and distribution of educational materials, developed relationships with bookshops and supported the distribution of government-authorized school textbooks.
My greatest strength is my ability to translate teaching strategies into measurable improvements in student achievement. I improved the Biology mean score from 4.0 to 5.1, representing approximately a 21% improvement. In 2024, my school recorded the most improved Biology performance among schools in the region. I have also contributed to improved student engagement through practical, inquiry-based and STEM-oriented learning activities.
My key skills include curriculum planning, classroom management, differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning, laboratory safety and practical instruction, formative and summative assessment, data-driven teaching, educational technology integration and student mentoring. I am proficient in using Google Classroom, Smart Boards, digital learning resources and online assessment tools to enhance instruction. I also value collaboration, cultural responsiveness, inclusive education and creating a classroom environment where every learner feels respected, supported and motivated.
Beyond classroom instruction, I have supported extracurricular activities through Science, Wildlife, Robotics and Basketball clubs, as well as environmental conservation and community outreach initiatives. I am passionate about helping students develop scientific literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving abilities and an appreciation of how science applies to everyday life.
I bring professionalism, adaptability, strong subject knowledge and a genuine commitment to student success. I would be excited to contribute my experience and skills to a school community that values academic excellence, inclusion, personal growth and preparing learners to thrive.
