Summary
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated Primary Pre-Service Teacher, committed to fostering academic, social, and emotional growth in students. Currently undertaking Early Permission to Teach for Term 3, 2025 at Mastery Schools Australia (Cairns), I bring a strong passion for creating inclusive and engaging learning environments. I use a flexible and responsive teaching approach to support diverse learning styles and behaviours, ensuring every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
With a nurturing mindset, I strive to cultivate a classroom atmosphere where students feel safe, respected, and actively engaged in their learning journey. I am also preparing to relocate to the Sunshine Coast in September 2025, where I look forward to continuing my teaching career and contributing positively to a new school community.
