Utilising my instructional design experiences as one of the world’s top debate coaches and a successful startup founder, I love creating engaging online and hybrid 🧠 learning that stimulates critical thinking and promotes meaningful education. I take pride in wearing different hats in the world of education:
💡 I am a learning designer with experience in EdTech K-12 startups: Nativated (an online language learning end-to-end platform) and The Village Network (an early childhood education SaaS solution). On the side, I also completed a number of freelance learning design projects for schools and organizations. After designing online courses for graduate students at Harvard alongside my master’s degree, I transitioned into a full-time instructional designer position at UMass, Boston.
🚀 I am an educational entrepreneur. I co-founded Think and Speak Academy (TASA) – a startup offering world-class debate training to high school students worldwide, incubated at the Harvard Innovation Labs via the Venture Program. From 8 students in one country, we grew to +300 students from 15 countries.
🗣️ I am a teacher. I am a highly experienced debate and public speaking coach that delivered classes in +40 schools in 15 countries. I worked with adult learners, teachers, college students, and, most importantly, teenagers. My students have continuously won some of the world’s most prestigious debate accolades.
