Summary
I am an enthusiastic and supportive classroom teacher. I am eager to further my career in the Catholic Education System and strive to become an active and committed member of Saint Patrick's Lochinvar community. I am compassionate and positive in my approach to education, and place importance upon creating supportive relationships with a diverse range of students. I am diligent and adaptable in meeting work required of myself and assisting my students to do the same. My expertise and passion for the creative arts is evident throughout all of my teaching. I approach all tasks with a growth-mindset and consider myself to be continually learning and extending my teaching skill set.
