I am trained in Clinical Biochemistry with a degree from Griffith University and have multidisciplinary training in Public Health, Law, and French. I have extensive experience in laboratory research and private tutoring in Biology and Chemistry. I am deeply committed to improving science education across the Pacific region. I am fluent in English and Fijian, conversational in French, and highly skilled at adapting to diverse environments.
I am known for my meticulous attention to detail, strong analytical skills, and a proactive approach to achieving results. Over the years, I have provided specialized tutoring to senior secondary school students preparing for national examinations, designing personalized lesson plans aligned with the curriculum and career pathways.
My professional experience spans roles such as pathology lab technician, research officer, and disaster recovery specialist, where I contributed to evidence-based policy development and post-disaster needs assessments. I have worked on national nutrition studies and managed clinical laboratory operations with strict adherence to quality and safety protocols.
In my tutoring, I strive to make complex scientific concepts accessible by using culturally relevant examples and clear explanations. Beyond my scientific and educational work, I am actively involved in community leadership, running a small organic farm, while engaging youth in environmental conservation activities.
I am passionate about fostering learning and scientific understanding, and I continuously seek opportunities to contribute to health and education improvements in the Pacific.
