SmartKids Ghana is proud to welcome Julie Almeida, a high school student from Bishop Fenwick High School, as one of our newest Zoom teachers. Julie joins our program with a genuine passion for education, service, and cross-cultural learning values that are at the heart of our mission.

Currently in Grade 10, Julie has already gained meaningful experience working with children. She has served as an assistant dance teacher and a preschool helper teacher, roles that have helped her develop patience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility in learning environments. These experiences have shaped her desire to pursue teaching and to support younger learners as they grow academically and personally.

Julie is also comfortable in virtual spaces. While she has not formally taught on Zoom yet, she is familiar with the platform and has experience presenting and engaging with others online. Her confidence and willingness to learn make her a strong addition to our Zoom Teaching Program.

What truly sets Julie apart is her heart for cultural connection. Although she was born in the United States, her family is from Brazil, and culture plays a significant role in her life. This background has given her a deep appreciation for diversity and a strong respect for different cultures, an important quality for global education work. Julie is excited not only to teach but also to learn from students in Ghana and connect across cultures through education.

Julie believes deeply in the power of education and sees teaching as both a calling and a goal for her future. Through SmartKids Ghana’s Zoom Teaching Program, she will help support scholars in underserved communities while continuing to grow as a young leader and educator.

We are grateful to welcome Julie Almeida to the SmartKids Ghana family. Her enthusiasm, cultural awareness, and commitment to learning embody the spirit of our global teaching community.

Welcome, Julie, we are excited for the journey ahead.
