I spent several years living and travelling throughout Latin America and Asia as a freelance journalist, writing for both print and digital publications, including Virgin Airline’s magazine, Private Air Magazine and Australian Traveller. I also ghost‑wrote for a photographer, produced a lifestyle journal for a British footwear brand, and created content for adventure and luxury travel agencies. During this period, I began learning to decipher basic code, as some clients required me to work in the back end of their websites to upload images, update text and handle basic formatting.

In 2018, I moved to India to work as an IELTS examiner, later returning to Sydney to examine for my former university, UTS, where I also conducted IELTS Masterclasses. During this time, I worked as a private tutor and carried out research into the PTE exam, which I also taught privately.

After Covid, I returned to classroom teaching for nearly four years while studying UX design. My main project during the course was a social media app designed without algorithmic feeds.

Frustrated by outdated classroom materials and the poor quality of many online resources, I began coding my own activities and tests. I attended every relevant industry seminar I could—from Duolingo to Pearson—to stay across developments in educational technology.
