Summary
I am an experienced drama and english teacher, with a great passion in travelling, which I have done as a job for several years. I also have long working experience on presenting shows on the radio, doing live link programmes as well as being a radio producer, marketing and public relations manager for a local radio station and writing and acting parts for adverts on the radio and TV. I love doing interesting and creative jobs, trying new things, adjusting to new intriguing jobs and moving in new places. I love anything that has to do with quality, character, humanities and development.
