CAREER OBJECTIVE

English graduate vested with solid communication skill. I have also pursued an MA degree from the
University of York, which is a world top 100 Russell group University and 25th in the world for
Arts and Humanities. I am a diligent learner and highly adaptive to changing environment in
educational sphere and never willing to compromise with ethics of work.
I am keen to start my career as a lecturer at North south University. NSU offers courses in
Linguistics and Psycholinguistics in its undergraduate and graduate programs. I believe that
exploring the diverse field of Linguistics, Psycholinguistics and Bilingualism will eventually
enable me to contribute to the English language teaching technique in my country.

my undergrad years, I aided fellow undergrad students with their English courses in North South
