Education History

I hold two First Class Honours degrees from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand: a Bachelor of Education (TESOL) and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Linguistics. My studies combined theoretical insights into language with practical training in English language teaching. This academic foundation has equipped me with strong skills in language analysis, pedagogy, and applied linguistics.

My Honours in Linguistics was a one-year postgraduate programme undertaken after completing my Bachelor's degree. In New Zealand, this is a common structure for Honours degrees, which are designed to deepen subject expertise and develop advanced research skills. During that year, I completed advanced coursework and an independent research project, which laid the groundwork for my ongoing interest in linguistic inquiry and academic research.
