Background:
Thirty years’ in the post-school education and training sector, mostly, as an independent contractor. Roles varied from the development of systems for quality management, to learning materials development, research, policy analysis and report-writing. Clients included tertiary education institutions (local and international), sector education and training authorities (skills councils), private companies, government departments, NGOs and donors, as well as grassroots community organisations.
I have worked in both the private and non-profit sectors, in various capacities: the development of educational materials for second language English learners, to administration and fundraising. I have been a volunteer governor and fulfilled leadership roles in a range of organisations concerned with causes relating to children and youth.
Credentials:
Mother tongue (native English speaker with a Bachelor of Arts (Humanities) with majors in English and Geography, and a Higher Diploma in Education (post-graduate) as well as an advanced certificate in teaching English as a foreign language. I was accepted to do a Ph D in education a few years ago but chose to move to the country to live a more simple life.
Prior to Covid-19, In 3D life, I had a tourism business (now in care and maintenance), take on projects in the village, blog on WordPress (www.fionasfavourites.net) and from there to the Hive blockchain.
I cook. With love – for family, friends and paying diners, alike. Now things are "opening up again" I have resumed my stall at the village market where folk buy food made with seasonal produce from our garden and round about.
