Summary
Married 36-year-old native English speaker from Ireland, with an MA in Applied Linguistics, B.A. (Hons) in Broadcasting and Journalism, and a Trinity TESOL Certificate. Moved to Thailand in April of 2017, after spending eight years working for the Health Service Executive (Irish government) in Dublin, Ireland. In addition to teaching experience gained on the Trinity course, I spent three months at the start of 2017 teaching English in the evenings to immigrants. From 2017 - 2021, I taught English at a private bilingual school in Bangkok to students between the ages of 5 and 15. I was also a part-time English instructor at Kasetsart University to university students and adults between 2018 and 2021. Since 2021, I have been an instructor at Bangkok University International, teaching in the Business English Department. I plan to stay in Thailand long-term.
