Personal Statement
With degrees in Internationalisation of Higher Education and TESOL, I have comprehensive experience in international higher education, focusing on language policies, curriculum design, and intercultural communication. I've taught and supervised in the fields of Applied Linguistics and TESOL and currently serve as the Communications Officer for BALEAP EAP and BAAL Social Justice Special Interest Groups. At Strathclyde, I contribute to teaching on MSc TESOLIC and BA Education and TESOL programmess, as well as the iPGCE and MSc Education Studies courses. My research re-imagines the Internationalisation of Higher Education, challenging assumptions about international students and fostering a diverse academic culture. I specialize in implementing comprehensive internationalisation strategies and managing all aspects of research endeavors, from design to dissemination. I'm seeking opportunities to supervise research in areas like TESOL, globalisation of higher education, and social justice in ELT, aiming to foster inclusive and enlightened academic environments. I bring a meticulous, innovative approach to research, with a commitment to inclusive educational practices and the advancement of higher education.
