Bio
Nahima Dchiri
It is wonderful to work together with Yoyo. She and I have been working together in an instructional design team for the Humankind Alliance's project, since September 2019. Yoyo is our Lead Instructional Designer and leads our team and assignments with clear communication and devotion for the people she works with. She is a talented team lead, instructional designer and curriculum developer. Her wonderful character shines through when working with her. Her ability to really listen and take a helicopter view is something I admire. She is always willing to learn more and support others in their learning journey. I hope to work with her for a long time.

I had the pleasure of managing Yoyo for a better part of a year. Her dedication and adaptability in the classroom is really something special. Yoyo created lesson plans and curriculum efficiently and catered to our diverse population to deliver dynamic and engaging lessons. Her willingness to step out of her comfort zone and tackle any subject or level of student would be a welcomed addition to any school or organization and give her my highest recommendation.
