I have more than fifteen years’ experience as a Junior Primary teacher in Australia. I am inspired and motivated by the students that I teach to provide a rich learning environment, which fosters authentic and meaningful learning experiences. I believe in providing opportunities for engaging and student-focused learning and I support children to develop self-confidence, respect for others and a love of learning. I am committed to the wellbeing of children and build positive relationships by encouraging and respecting the unique qualities of each child. I also develop relationships with students, staff, parents and the wider school community by communicating openly, being respectful, caring and supportive, and working collaboratively. I am committed and passionate about teaching children and making a valuable difference in their education. I am also confident about taking on new challenges and continuing my own lifelong learning journey.
