I?ve been working in education and ELT materials writing since 1996. Passionate about language, communication, and creative learning experiences, I hold degrees in Graphic Design and Languages. My professional journey includes developing English teaching materials for language centers and regular schools, combining pedagogy, visual design, and learner engagement. Interested in microlearning, EdTech, and storytelling, I believe in creating meaningful and accessible learning experiences that connect with both teachers and students. As part of the MaWSIG community, I look forward to exchanging ideas, collaborating with fellow educators and writers, and contributing to innovative discussions in ELT materials writing.
