Certifications: I have completed an English-speaking course (TEFL), hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration, and a Bachelor of Journalism & Media Studies. I have over 15 years of working experience in senior management. My competences are: • Communications • Business writing • Concise oral communication • Concise written communication • English fluency • Reviewing and editing documents
Announcements: I am thorough, conscientious, diligent, and respectful. I can differentiate between formal and informal English communication. I am qualified with a Journalism & Media Studies Bachelor's degree which enabled me to acquire strong, versatile communication skills and provided me with several advantages, including effective interaction skills, the ability to create well-structured reports, proposals, business cases, executive submissions, and presentation skills. Throughout my managerial years, I had to review, edit, and refine subordinates’ written submissions. My areas of expertise are reviewing documents, reports, email, essay, and summary writing.
Hobbies/Travel: In my free time, I enjoy nature walks and bird watching, which help me stay grounded and inspired. I collect tree leaves, dry them, and document them with their names in a journal. I love travelling and exploring new cultures. During my working career, I visited several African countries and vacationed with my family in the UAE, Europe, South America, and Asia. I have lived in the USA, Germany, Morocco, and Australia. As a result, I am culturally diverse and can naturally connect with people from various backgrounds.
Message from the instructor: The Journalism & Media Studies Bachelor's degree enabled me to acquire strong, versatile communication skills and equipped me with various advantages such as good interaction skills, the ability to create well-structured reports, proposals, business cases, executive submissions, and presentation skills. I endeavour to make communication accessible to the lay person, using simple yet engaging language whilst adhering to correct grammatical expression and punctuation. English words tend to have many synonyms, but each synonym has a different nuance in meaning. I always attempt to suggest the word that provides a meaning closest to the context in which it is used. In essay editing in particular, I like to suggest different ways of starting a new paragraph to make the essay interesting and engaging. Incorporating simple and complex sentence structures adds to variety and intrigue. Overall, my focus in correction is clarity, accuracy, and effective communication.
