Objectives
Working for 14 years as an editor and a managing editor in a highly pressurized environment in one of the top publishing houses in the country has prepared me to manage and work on all functions in publication. I can inspire excellence from a team and is in fact responsible for the publication of some of the top selling education materials in the country. I have trained through international seminars (USA, Singapore and Australia) organized by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Reston Virginia (NCTM), and Authentic Education by the former Grant Wiggins and Jay Mctighe. I can keep abreast with global developments in math education and has coordinated and networked with editors from other international publishers. I also have completed courses in editing at the University of Berkeley, California (online education).
